About Us
If you're looking for a safe way to invest in the world's burgeoning "green" debt market, National Bank of Canada has just the thing: green bonds.
The bank is offering investors a chance to take advantage of a growing market in which issuers aim to make a positive environmental impact with their debt, Bloomberg reports.
"The ever-increasing value of green bonds issued worldwide each year bears witness to investors' appetite for this type of debt and the market's willingness to finance credible environmental projects," the bank says in a press release.
Green bonds are more mature than other "social and sustainability" debt markets, National Bank says, and "since sustainability bonds enable the simultaneous financing of environmental and social projects, they are an attractive option for issuers wishing to manage a single impact bond program and finance all their projects under a single label."
