CBI’s first Green Bond Treasurer Survey supported by ICMA Centre academics

Green Bond Treasurer Survey

Dr Ivan Sangiorgi and Dr Lisa Schopohl from the ICMA Centre at Henley Business School have supported the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) by providing data support for its first Green Bond Treasurer Survey.

CBI interviewed 86 treasurers worldwide who shared their experiences of issuing green bonds. Dr Sangiorgi and Dr Schopohl worked on the statistical analysis of the survey results, which were published yesterday.

Key findings show that issuing green bonds helps enterprises to transition to a low-carbon business model, to broaden their investor base and to enhance their reputation and visibility.

New study: sustainability ratings are a reliable indicator of countries' solvency

31 October 2013
Munich, 16 October 2013 – There is currently a high level of uncertainty on the international financial markets, due to the budget dispute in the USA surrounding the proposed raising of the borrowing limit. The markets are waiting with bated breath to see whether the Democrats and the Republicans will be able to agree on raising the debt ceiling, which currently stands at just under 17 trillion US dollars. The key question for investors is whether the USA and other countries will be able to pay back the debts they have taken on or whether, as in the case of the debt cut in Greece, they can expect to see losses on their investments. A recent study based on sustainability rating agency oekom research’s country ratings shows that sustainability ratings are a reliable indicator of countries’ solvency and that taking sustainability ratings into account allows investors to make a better assessment of the overall risks.
