The Carbon Yield quantifies the environmental impact of a Green Bond in terms of GHG emissions avoided per annum through the financed activities
Introducing the Carbon Yield:
Simple to understand and can be used by anyone
Increases transparency on investment impact upfront
Introduces a standardised approach to climate mitigation reporting in the market
A quantitative metric rather than a score, made up of data already being collected by issuers
The Carbon Yield methodology
- Issuers can use the Carbon Yield to communicate the climate change mitigation impact of their bonds clearly, succinctly and comparably, to investors.
- Investors, in turn, can use the Carbon Yield of each Green Bond they hold to obtain a portfolio-level Carbon Yield, which aggregates the climate change mitigation impact of their investments and can then be included in the relevant impact reporting.
