Green finance issuer frameworks – best practice

Green Financing Frameworks (GFF)  for corporates and institutions who issue green bonds or take green loans can embody ‘best practice’ in the Sustainable Finance  arena. These documents are key for investors to be able to utilise as part of due diligence on green debt investments.
