ICBC is the world’s biggest bank and it’s also the world’s biggest listed company. When they issue their inaugural green bond and it's Climate Bonds Certified, we think it's news worth repeating.

And when India’s state-owned energy agency IREDA does the same, we think that’s good news as well.

ICBC, biggest bank in the world issues certified green: IREDA issues certified green from India: Austrian, Swedish, Brazilian, Swiss, and Canadian issuance, more US munis, moving pictures, gossip and a big green bond from Mexico City Airport
