作为对绿色金融市场的重要补充和延伸,转型金融相关产品的发展已经成为可持续金融领域受到较多关注的议题。目前,房地产、交通和公用事业等行业具有相对完善的低碳转型路径,来自这些行业的实体可以较为轻松地使用绿色债券为其项目、资产和特定支出进行融资。而对于很多高碳排放行业,如水泥、钢铁和基础化学品等,市场上的转型相关路径才刚开始制定,明确募集资金用途用于特定行业的指引尚较为缺乏。对于这些高碳排放的企业实体,不限募集资金用途的可持续挂钩债券(SLB)已成为一个受到市场追捧的融资工具。可持续发展挂钩债券是一种将债券条款与发行人可持续发展目标相挂钩的债务融资工具,和绿色债券、碳中和债券等限定募集资金用途的产品相比,其在发行主体、募资用途、债券结构等方面都更加灵活。

由于SLB允许发行主体为一般用途融资,机构实体可以设定自身的关键绩效指标(KPI)和可持续发展绩效目标(SPT),SLB市场在过去两年得到了强劲增长。从规模上,截至2022年11月,气候债券倡议组织(CBI)统计SLB和转型债券发行量已达2,017亿美元。

然而,在SLB市场蓬勃发展的同时,市场对SLB和转型债券缺乏雄心和可信度充满担忧,主要原因是发行人选定的减排目标是根据业务基线而非基于气候科学的路径,因此这样的减排目标很难与同行和特定行业路径进行比较。

 

为了增强SLB的可信度,CBI鼓励发行人参考以下几点:
