Banking and wealth management firm Investec has reaffirmed its commitment to funding a sustainable future by issuing its first green bond, which is backed by a number of Investec’s flagship renewable energy projects, all of which are helping to create a cleaner future for South Africa.
The bonds raised R1-billion under Investec’s Domestic Medium-Term Note bond programme, which was 3.8 times oversubscribed – revealing significant appetite among institutional investors who want to make a positive impact in terms of their environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments.
