Abstract: A green bond is a bond aimed to finance investment linked to environmental benefit. This paper discusses the current state of ambiguity surrounding the definition and application of green bonds and offers two methodologies to measure investment impact towards green initiatives. Data utilized in the analysis were gathered by surveying all companies that have been known to issue green use of proceeds bonds in the past.
