ESG linked financing assurance refers to the independent verification and assurance of Environmental, Social, and Governance metrics and practices linked to financing arrangements, ensuring transparency, accountability, and alignment with sustainability principles.
ESG linked financing assurance benefits investors by providing them with confidence in the accuracy and reliability of ESG reporting, ensuring that their investments are contributing to sustainable and responsible practices.
Sustainable bonds are financial instruments where the proceeds are exclusively used to finance or refinance projects with environmental and social benefits, such as green, social, or sustainability-linked bonds.
ESG metrics are important in financing as they provide a framework for evaluating a company’s or project’s impact on environmental, social, and governance factors, which are increasingly considered by investors and lenders in decision-making processes.
Independent assurance in the context of ESG financing refers to the external verification of a company’s ESG reporting and practices by a third-party assurer, ensuring the credibility and reliability of the information provided.
Sustainable bond assurance involves an independent review of the use of proceeds from sustainable bonds, confirming that they align with the core components of relevant sustainability principles and meet investor expectations for transparency and impact.
Second-party opinions in sustainable financing are independent assessments provided by external experts to evaluate the environmental and social benefits of a sustainable bond or financing instrument, ensuring its alignment with established principles and standards.
KPI performance assurance is important for ESG linked financing as it verifies the achievement of specific Key Performance Indicators related to ESG objectives, ensuring that the financing is effectively contributing to sustainability goals.
IFRSLAB assists with ESG linked financing assurance by providing independent verification of ESG metrics, offering sustainable bond assurance, conducting second-party opinions, and ensuring KPI performance alignment with sustainability objectives.
