Through its Sustainable Bond Framework, CABEI reaffirms its commitment to fostering economic growth, improving social well-being, and protecting the environment across the Central American region. Sustainable Bonds represent a pivotal tool for financing impactful environmental and social projects, further strengthening CABEI’s project portfolio to support sustainable development. Through this framework, CABEI seeks to contribute meaningfully to the fight against climate change, poverty, and social inequality while advancing economic and social progress in the region.
The Sustainable Bond Framework has been designed in alignment with the Green Bond Principles (GBP, June 2021, with June 2022 Appendix 1), Social Bond Principles (SBP, June 2023), and Sustainability Bond Guidelines (SBG, June 2021), as administered by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA). It also incorporates ICMA’s guidance on Blue Bonds for financing the sustainable blue economy. The framework adheres to the four core components of these principles: Use of Proceeds, Process for Project Evaluation and Selection, Management of Proceeds, and Reporting.
In line with international best practices, CABEI is committed to ensuring transparency by publicly publishing this framework and securing external verification. This initiative reinforces CABEI’s leadership in promoting sustainable financing and demonstrates its dedication to mobilizing resources for transformative projects that address regional and global challenges.
