The Sustainability-Linked Loans financing Bonds Guidelines are issued jointly by the Loan Market Association (LMA) and the International Capital Market Association (ICMA).

They relate to a particular type of bond, known as a Sustainability-linked loan financing bond (SLLB).

The SLLBGs establish voluntary process guidelines that recommend transparency and disclosure and promote integrity in the development of the SLLB market, by clarifying the approach for issuance of such types of instrument.

SLLBs are designed to finance a portfolio of sustainability-linked loans aligned with the Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles (SLLP), adopting the Use of Proceeds project financing structuring usual for Green social and sustainability (GSS) bonds.

The core recommendation of the Sustainability-Linked Loans financing Bonds Guidelines is that the existing Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles (SLLP) should be used as the basis for construction of any related portfolio.
