2016 Green Bond Awards

 

The green bond market has developed a lot since the first green bonds were issued and these awards celebrate that. The Green Bond Awards will raise the profile of green bonds while acknowledging global leadership in the sector. The Awards recognise pioneers who, through their actions, have demonstrated the potential of green bonds, energised the market and, by positive example, have called investors, governments and business to action.
