Green bonds

What are Green bonds?

Green bonds are one of the fastest growing investment tools in sustainable finance. The demand for green bonds is driven by participants’ commitment to address climate change and environmental challenges.

As global attention on sustainability grows, green bonds have emerged as a key financing source for a wide range of issuers including green renewable energy companies, supranationals, governments and corporates.

The difference between green bonds compared to other bonds is that proceeds are earmarked to support climate friendly activities.

Credit licensees must comply with the organisational competence obligation in s47(1)(f) of the National Consumer Credit protection Act 2009 (National Credit Act). Regulatory Guide 206 Credit licensing: Competence and training (RG 206) sets out the minimum expectations for demonstrating organisational competence.

What you need to do to comply will depend on the nature, scale and complexity of your business. However, Regulatory Guide 206 Credit licensing: Competence and training (RG 206) sets out our minimum expectations for demonstrating organisational competence.

You must also ensure that your representatives are adequately trained and competent to engage in the credit activities authorised by your licence: s47(1)(g).
