Exchange of the Year: Sustainable Investment AwardsLondon Stock Exchange recognised by Environmental Finance

“London Stock Exchange impressed

judges by both the breadth and depth of

its sustainable investment innovation,

including the launch of its Green

Economy Mark and Sustainable Bond

Market.”

London Stock Exchange has been named Stock

Exchange of the Year in the Environmental Finance

Sustainable Investment Awards 2020.

In the last year, London Stock Exchange has developed a

comprehensive and highly effective sustainable finance and

investment programme which focused on three areas:

‒ Driving best practice in disclosure. Helping all equity,

fund and fixed income issuers to understand and

implement effective ESG disclosures that reflect

investor needs and trends in regulation.

‒ Supporting new green-growth companies and

funds. Improving the visibility of, and access to capital

for, green and sustainable businesses globally.

‒ Enabling the transition to a sustainable, low carbon

economy. Innovating to enable companies across all

sectors to access the capital needed to address

environmental risks and opportunities.

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

Support for Issuers of Social BondsAdmission fee waiver for social or sustainability bonds whose proceeds mitigate the impact of COVID-19

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

as healthcare, water and sanitation, supporting employment, or with a link to the relevant UN Sustainable Development

Goals can have a role to play in directing capital to initiatives that will help mitigate the impact of COVID-19

– London Stock Exchange will be admitting social and sustainability bonds with use of proceeds aligned towards mitigating

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

Eligibility Criteria

• Applies to bonds admitted to one of London Stock Exchange’s markets

• Applies to social or sustainability bonds only that meet the eligibility

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])

• End date: Thursday, 1 October 2020

For further information on the Sustainable Bond Market,

refer to the dedicated factsheet and eligibility criteria

here. Additional guidance on ICMA’s Social Bond

Principles and their relevance in addressing COVID-19

crisis can be found here, and high level mapping to the

Sustainable Development Goals can be found here.

this difficult time for the whole world found

support among investors and successfully

placed two new issues of sovereign

Eurobonds. It is doubly honourable that

securities have been listed on the world's

leading stock exchange platform. We hope that

cooperation between our country and the

London Stock Exchange will be continued. ”
