Around two thirds of global emissions come from electricity generation.
Renewables and low carbon energy is a fundamental requirement in the transition to a net zero world.
Regnan Credit Impact Trust and Pendal Sustainable Australian Fixed Interest Fund also invest in social bonds which have positive outcomes outside Australia.
An example of this is the AUD social bond from the International Finance Corporation, which is a member of the World Bank.
These types of social bonds have projects that focus on the underprivileged in society in developing countries.
This includes projects targeting health and gender equality, as well as economic empowerment and opportunities through agribusiness, microfinance and infrastructure.
Examples of the type of projects these bonds fund include support for Baobab Group, which provides funding services in areas underserved by traditional banks, supporting 500,000 micro entrepreneurs and small businesses.
The bonds assist this group to scale up their lending capacity, with particular focus on Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cote d’Ivoire, Madagascar, Mali and Senegal.
Another example of support that these types of bonds provide is to expand the offerings of Home First Finance Company Limited in India.
This organisation helps with the housing needs of low and middle income first home buyers who are underserved by banks.
It helps support the growing demand for green individual housing, which is underdeveloped in India but particularly so for affordable housing.
These projects have truly life changing impacts on the lives of the underserved around the world.
