Abstract

A frequently overlooked aspect within the sustainable finance discourse is the added value of securitisation as a vehicle to further sustainability goals. The EU ‘sustainable securitisation’ market encompasses deals which market actors have independently labelled as such thus far. This gives rise to several inconsistencies on the core features and on originators’ levels of commitment towards the implementation of sustainability-related projects and targets. The present essay aims at mapping the distinctive elements of ‘sustainable’ securitisations in the EU market. It also delves into the implications of the EU Green Bond Regulation for securitisation, which in principle aims to solve the existing regulatory fragmentation. However, its limited and voluntary scope, the flexibility of the provisions concerning the composition of the portfolio and external reviews, as well as the insufficient attention for investors’ ‘voice’ rights raise several questions about the ability of the Standard to effectively streamline market practices.
