Green Bond Fact Sheet

A fact sheet detailing a USD 650 million dual-currency green bond issued by Beijing Capital Group on March 26, 2018, to finance environmental projects including water and waste management, low carbon transport, sustainable agriculture, and certified green buildings.

• Beijing Capital Group issued a green bond on March 26, 2018, with a total value of USD 650 million, split between USD 500 million and CNY 630 million. The bond has a maturity date of March 26, 2021, and a tenor of 2-3 years.
• The bond is the first offshore green bond issued by a Chinese corporate to be denominated in two currencies.
• Proceeds from the bond are designated for air pollution control, low carbon transport, water and waste management, sustainable agriculture, and green buildings. Green buildings must meet minimum certification thresholds such as LEED Gold, Silver BREAAM Plus, or the China Green Building Standard. The issuer has committed that fossil-fuel related assets will not be financed.
• The Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) included the bond in its database despite a note from Sustainalytics that the framework does not explicitly exclude genetically modified (GM) crop seeds from sustainable farming. CBI notes that GM projects are permissible under the PBoC’s green bond endorsed projects catalogue if they comply with the Safety Management Regulation of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).
