These bonds provide a transparent and structured way for investors to support sustainability while earning financial returns. To ensure credibility, issuers often adhere to internationally recognized standards, such as the Green Bond Principles (GBP) established by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) or the Climate Bonds Standard (CBS) set by the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI).
