Show Notes
In this episode, Herman and Corn dive into the complex world of sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) and loans, exploring the $6 trillion market where corporate debt meets climate action. They deconstruct the fundamental paradox of why investors might accept lower returns for greener companies and examine innovative structures like "step-up" penalties and "charity toggles." From the challenges of Scope 3 emissions to the role of third-party verification, discover how the "engine room" of global finance is being rewired to incentivize real-world change.
