We are thrilled to announce our latest launch ‘GSS Reporting: Consolidating Credibility.’ ✨ ➡️ Post-issuance reporting is a crucial expectation for sustainable finance instruments. For green, social, and sustainability (GSS) bonds, effective reporting enhances transparency around the use of proceeds (UoP) and the sustainability-related impacts of financing. The good news? Our recent analysis indicates that GSS bond reporting is widespread and generally high-quality. However, there are key areas for improvement. 🔗 Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/dgppJwug #ClimateBondsCONNECT2024 #SpeedAndScale #SustainableFinance #GSSBonds
