Green Bond Issuance & ESG Financing Advisory for Corporates and Public-Sector Issuers
Green Bond Issuance & ESG Financing Advisory
1 Why Green Bonds Matter for Funding and Stakeholder Credibility
Global green-, social- and sustainability-linked (GSS) bond volume exceeded USD 1.7 trillion outstanding in 2024, with green issues accounting for 56 percent. For corporates and municipalities, labelled bonds lower all-in coupons by 5–20 basis points, widen the investor base to dedicated ESG funds (~USD 2.3 trillion AUM) and lock strategic alignment with regulatory transition plans. Financely guides issuers from framework drafting to post-issuance impact reporting—compressing timelines and maximising pricing tension.

3 Deal Formats and Investor Reach

- Sustainability-linked private placements —KPIs (GHG intensity, renewable share) drive coupon step-ups or step-downs.
- Municipal green bonds —tax-exempt issuance paired with CUSIP-level green flag enhances distribution to ESG SMA channels.
