The Green & Social Bond Principles Excomm announced the Sustainability-Linked
Bond Principles (SLBPs) at the 6th Annual General Meeting. These are voluntary
guidelines for sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) defined as forward-looking
performance-based bond instruments where the issuer is committing to future
improvements in sustainability outcomes within a predefined timeline. The ExComm
released a 2020 update of the Social Bond Principles providing expanded social
project categories and additional target populations, and incorporating recent
guidance for social bonds addressing COVID-19.
Martin Scheck, Chief Executive of the International
Capital Market Association (ICMA), said: "By
publishing Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles, the
GBP & SBP Executive Committee is providing
guidance for a highly innovative and versatile debt
instrument that can really expand the sustainable
finance market while preserving its integrity.
Separately, the update of the Social Bond Principles
accompanies a pivotal moment for social bonds that
have shown their relevance with a surge of issuance
addressing the consequences of COVID-19."

AIIB returns with second benchmark and first Sustainable Development Bond “With this recent transaction it was our goal to
cement our position amongst the top tier MDB
issuers as well as to provide investors with the
flavour of the type of issuer we want to be. This
transaction was a 5-year $3 billion trade and it had
an oversubscription of 600 million dollars from 70
top tier investors representing 31 different countries.
The proceeds of which will be used in our general
resources which, amongst other things, will finance
the investment operations for the Crisis Recovery
Facility and hopefully be able to help our members
through these very challenging times.”

Sustainability-Linked BondsA dedicated subsegment for SLBs within the Issuer-Level (non UoP) segment
London Stock Exchange welcomes the new
Sustainability-Linked Bonds Principles (SLBPs)
published by the International Capital Market
Association (ICMA) at the recent GBP/SBP Annual
General Meeting. The SLBPs are new voluntary
guidelines that provide market participants best
practice when preparing to issue Sustainability-Linked
Bonds (SLBs).
In response to this development, London Stock
Exchange has introduced the ability for issuers to
display SLBs on the Issuer-Level Classification
segment on SBM, providing they are issued in
accordance with the SLBPs. This enables those
businesses that meet the eligibility criteria to be
able to admit bonds to SBM and benefit from
enhanced visibility. The distinction between bonds
on the Issuer-Level Segment and Use-of-Proceeds
Segment is crucial for investors and issuers seeking to
provide transparency, as we see more businesses
make sustainability central to their operations

– At LSEG we believe that social and sustainability bonds with use of proceeds aligned to funding essential services such

the impact of COVID-19 with no admission fees until 1 October 2020

criteria for the Sustainable Bond Market, and where use of proceeds are
aligned towards addressing or mitigating social issues wholly or partially
emanating from COVID-19 through projects related to access to essential
services, healthcare, employment, water and sanitation or the relevant
UN Sustainable Development Goals under the issuer’s publicly available
and provided framework
• Issuers and advisors would need to request for the application of this fee
waiver on the relevant Sustainable Bond Market Application and
Declaration form (sent to [email protected] and [email protected])
