Sustainability - sustainable finance - pricing - cost of capital - halo effect.
A green halo is a theoretical benefit enjoyed by an organisation or sector from green activity or signalling, outside the immediate scope of the activity itself.
For example, benefits resulting from related reputational improvements.
- Green halo might lead to lower cost of capital for green bond issuers
- "...green bonds may provide additional indirect benefits for the issuer.
- For instance, by highlighting the environmental credentials of an issuer, green bonds offer a marketing benefit, potentially lowering the firm’s cost of capital by attracting new investors, or potentially improving business performance by attracting new customers.
- This hypothesized indirect effect is called the green halo...
- The argument for issuing green bonds to capture a green halo can be situated within the
theoretical context of signaling problems.
- Firms possess asymmetric information about their environmental credentials, such as future plans to reduce emissions. If this information is not or cannot be communicated effectively to investors with a preference for sustainability, firms may suffer from suboptimal costs of capital.
- Issuing a green bond may serve as a (potentially costly) solution to address the signaling problem and achieve a more optimal capital cost."
