Green story
From ACT Wiki
1. Treasury - borrowing - credit - sustainability - investor relations.
In the context of sustainable debt, the green story is a fundamentally important part of the borrower's engagement with potential lenders and investors, as well as existing ones.
A borrower's green story means the content and presentation of information about the borrower's strengths in sustainability, to potential lenders and investors.
A key element of the borrowing organisation's green story is its credibility.
It is important, therefore, not to over-promise when compiling the organisation's green story.
- Compelling green story can yield improved pricing - greenium
- "... empirical evidence suggests the existence of greeniums – although this might not always be the case, and its range may differ from a few basis points to more significant values...
- For example, for an issuer, signalling a stronger sustainability use of proceeds, greater risk reduction and long-term positive impacts, which also improve operations, could yield a larger greenium, while a less compelling green story could have the opposite effect."
