Green Bond Fact Sheet

The Bank of Guiyang issued a CNY5bn (USD731.9m) green bond on August 31, 2018, to fund projects in pollution prevention, ecological protection, and resource recycling. Key projects include sewage plants, wetland restoration, and a small-scale hydropower project. While the Climate Bonds Initiative included the bond due to its ecological focus, it noted potential controversies regarding the use of proceeds for resettlement.

• The Bank of Guiyang issued a green bond on 31-Aug-2018 with a total amount of CNY5bn (USD731.9m) and a maturity date of 31-Aug-2021.
• Proceeds from the bond are allocated to three categories aligned with the PBoC’s green bond catalogue: resource conservation and recycling, pollution prevention, and ecological protection and adaptation.
• The bond aims to deliver environmental benefits, including a reduction of SOx emissions by 2.91t/a and chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 27000t/a. Specific projects include a hydropower project, the construction of two sewage plants and supporting infrastructure, and a wetland protection and restoration project.
• The Climate Bonds Initiative included the deal because the hydropower component is relatively small, utilizes surplus water from a reservoir, and falls under ecological protection and adaptation (including flood control and drainage cleaning). However, the CBI notes potential controversies as proceeds will be used for resettlement.
