SLBs are structured in a similar manner to conventional bonds, however unlike conventional bonds, SLBs are designed to provide the capital needed to fund a project’s growth requirements by linking financial performance to predefined environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets, incentivising issuers to meet set sustainability objectives measured by key performance indicators (KPI) against sustainability performance targets. In the event that certain targets are missed, the coupon rate may be adjusted accordingly.
