Abstract

Sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) have an innovative format that links the bond’s coupon to the achievement of environmental, social or governance targets. Many SLBs now include targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, this mechanism must impose greater constraints on issuers in order to become a real decarbonisation tool. Les Sustainability-linked bonds (SLB) ont un format innovant permettant de lier le taux d’intérêt d’une dette à l’atteinte d‘objectifs environnementaux, sociaux ou de gouvernance. Beaucoup de SLB comportent aujourd’hui des objectifs de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Ce mécanisme doit néanmoins contraindre davantage les émetteurs pour devenir un véritable outil de décarbonation.
