Green Bonds Under Consideration as New ISO Work Area

The green bond market continued rapid growth as the issuance of green bonds in 2016 doubled over the previous year. ISO is proposing a new standard to define eligibility criteria, impact assessment, disclosure and assurance options. NSF International's John Shideler is chair of ISO Technical Committee 207/Subcommittee 4, which will consider a proposal to begin a standardization effort for green bonds. Member body voting on the proposal could begin in June 2016.
