About the CPD course
This introductory course gives you a deep understanding of the mechanics of green: social: sustainability and sustainability linked bonds: taking you from the big picture policy context to introducing the underlying drivers of market development: main product features and regulation. We discuss the Green and Social Bond Principles and Sustainability Bond Guidelines: and then the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles. We then explain how they work in practice: including evaluation and selection of eligible projects for funding: the role of external reviewers and guidance on reporting.
