A study on the greenium of sustainability-linked bonds (SLB)
By admin | |
University of Zurich compared SLBs to their non-labelled equivalents. 55 of the bond pairs saw a sustainabilty premium larger than penalty attached for not meeting KPIs. 36 of the pairs saw no or a negative premium. Premium was higher for callable bonds, where the issuer may repay the debt before maturity and often before the KPI measurement date.
