Sustainability - green bonds - European Union (EU).
(EUGBS or EU GBS).
The EU Green Bond Standard is a voluntary standard to help finance sustainable investments.
The core objective is to create a new ‘gold standard' for green bonds that other market standards can be compared to, and potentially seek alignment.
This standard will aim to address concerns on greenwashing and protecting market integrity to ensure that legitimate environmental projects are financed.
