Asian Development Bank (ADB) is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient and sustainable Asia and Pacific while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. Established in 1966, ADB is owned by 68 members – 49 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing-member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants and technical assistance.

SUSTAINABILITY OBJECTIVES OF GSS BOND PROGRAMME
The ADB green bond programme enables ADB to support its DMCs seeking to mitigate GHG emissions and adapt to the consequences of climate change, while delivering environmentally sustainable growth to help reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. The programme aims to channel more investor funds to ADB projects that promote low-carbon and climate-resilient economic growth and development in developing Asia.

PUBLIC ISSUER ESG RATINGS/SCORES

ADB continues to scale up its support to help its developing-member countries tackle climate change, building climate and disaster resilience and enhance environmental sustainability.

ADB’s Strategy 2030 set two climate targets. The first is ensuring that by 2030, 75% of ADB’s operations will support climate mitigation and adaptation. The second is that climate finance from ADB’s own resources will reach US$80 billion cumulatively between 2019 and 2030. These targets are guiding ADB operations, within the context of which green financing facilities are being established. ADB considers the environmental objectives to be sufficient and efficient incentives to increase the share of green financing.
