"Sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) issuance shows no signs of slowing, H1 2022 is on track to match or exceed the record issuance of 2021. Sustainability-linked loan (SLLs) borrowing in H1 2022 is slightly below H1 2021 but the private nature of the market makes creates challenges in estimating the total volume.
Environmental Finance Data have created 26 broad categories of KPIs to further analyse the types of indicators being used. Carbon/GHG emissions redution KPIs are the most commonly used KPI representing just over 50% of SLB KPIs and 26% of SLL KPIs. To more accurately depict this KPI EF Data have created additional granularity by differentiating between absolute and intensity based KPIs and between the different scopes of emissions.
This report provides analysis of the different Carbon/GHG emissions reduction KPIs by number of bonds/loans, sector and geographical region to offer insights to this fast evolving element of sustainability-linked debt."
