Report: How Green Bond Labelling Impacts Investment Behaviour
The Smart Prosperity Institute, a Canadian research network and think tank, has shared significant new research findings on green bonds and sustainable finance.
The study —“To label or not? A choice experiment testing whether labelled green bonds matter to retail investors” — reveals how green bond labelling influences retail investor behaviour, finding that for most investors the mere presence of a green label mattered more than the actual environmental impact of the bond — or the higher financial return of a non-green option — when selecting investments.
