In this episode, Julian Kölbel and Stéphanie Mielnik delve into sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) to explore their potential benefits and risks.

Innovations in Sustainable Finance #4 Stéphanie Mielnik | Sustainability-Linked Bonds

SLBs have grown to a USD 280 billion market and represent an exciting alternative to green bonds in the sustainable debt market.

If the company does not reach the target, the bond investors receive an additional “step-up” coupon. They analyze the example of a recent Air France KLM issue. One of Stephanie’s key points is that market pricing should reveal which SLBs have ambitious targets.
