The case study presents
what is a very original story:
an energy company innovating
in the world of finance.
In the case study,
we present the SDG-linked bond issued by Enel
that was the world’s first
and it was an incredibly successful initiative.
Enel, in a few years, managed to raise
close to 20 billion euros
with the SDG-linked bond
and by doing that, created a market
that wasn't existing;
so today, that market is probably valued
at around 200 billion euros.
And what this means is that
other organizations have followed
the initiative and the strategy of Enel.
So this was a very big innovation
for the world of sustainable finance
– and it’s very interesting that it didn't come
from an organization in financial services:
it came from an energy company from Italy.
