Green bond services
As green bonds finance an exponential number of climate-friendly projects and as the market diversifies, issuers and investors need technically sound eligibility criteria and impact assessments.
We are dedicated to building an environmentally sustainable future through, among other things, empowering climate-friendly investment decisions. Our green bond team enjoy access to three thousand highly qualified technical experts including building and renewable energy engineers, economists, regulatory specialists, social and environmental scientists.
Multiconsult’s services span the entire green bond issuance lifecycle:
Our assistance on Green Bond Framework development is science-based, market-relevant and transparent and focus on process for project evaluation and selection and reporting. This includes establishing robust baselines and eligibility criteria and a clear methodology for impact assessment. We have played a central role scaling up the green bond market in Norway through eligibility criteria development and impact assessments on loan portfolios including energy efficient residential and commercial buildings, low carbon transport and hydropower.
Transparent impact assessments are essential for the credibility and growth of the green bond market. Multiconsult follows established protocols for estimating greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1 – 3), emphasises sound, lasting system boundaries and relevant international benchmarking.
