9.4 Sustainability Bond Flag
The Sustainability Bond Flag confirms that a company uses the proceeds from a bond issuance exclusively for (re)financing activities and projects that are both green and socially responsible. To obtain the flag, the company must explain in the bond prospectus how the bond proceeds are used to fund environmentally friendly and socially responsible projects. The company must also provide SIX Swiss Exchange with confirmation that the bond complies with both the ICMA Green Bond Principles and the ICMA Social Bond Principles. Further details can be found in the ICMA Sustainability Bond Guidelines.
