Green bonds provide CPP Investments with additional funding as we pursue acquisitions of attractive long-term investments that will accelerate the energy transition to a lower-carbon economy. In 2018, CPP Investments became the first pension fund manager to issue a green bond.
Why we issue green bonds
The need to transition towards a lower-carbon economy presents opportunities in emerging technologies, renewable energy and carbon reduction in conventional industries. CPP Investments is a significant equity investor in many of these technologies and industries. Investing in our Green Bond Program provides lenders exposure to these investments.
By holding ourselves to the highest standards of issuance and reporting we add value to our contributors and beneficiaries, our green investments and the broader green bond market.
