“Blue Bonds Reference Paper” – United Nations Global Compact – April 2020

In April 2020, the United Nations (UN) Global Compact published “Blue Bonds – A Reference Paper for Investments Accelerating Sustainable Ocean Business.”  The paper includes the Sustainable Ocean Principles of the UN Global Compact.

The paper “(o)utlines the opportunities for the ESG bond market to secure capital for ocean-related projects and companies that have made, or are planning to make, a significant contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals. The Sustainable Ocean Principles of the UN Global Compact serve as a baseline for issuers to ensure they meet the minimum expectations of a holistic approach to sustainability aligned with the SDGs.”
