- Pre-issuance external review: A third-party reviewer assesses whether the bond meets green/social criteria, aligns with taxonomies, and delivers genuine sustainability benefits.
- Post-issuance reporting: Issuers must demonstrate that funds are being used as promised. This includes:
- Allocation reporting: How funds are distributed across projects
- Impact reporting: The environmental or social benefits achieved
- Allocation of funds: Stating percentage allocated until full deployment
- Impact reporting: Providing quantitative and qualitative metrics on project benefits (e.g. GHG reduction, renewable energy installed, affordable housing provided)
- Geographical distribution: Noting location-specific performance factors (e.g. building energy efficiency varies by region)
- Climate/social objectives: Demonstrating alignment with sustainability goals
- Transparency: Reports should be publicly available via company websites, annual reports, or sustainability disclosures
