Green bond frameworks provide theoretical allocation plans, but post-issuance reality often differs. Our technology bridges this critical transparency gap, providing instant comparison between what issuers promise and where capital actually flows.

Green bond frameworks tell you what might get financed, but they never reveal what actually gets financed.
Our analyst demonstrates how ClimateAligned solves this critical transparency gap using Meridian Energy as an example. By comparing frameworks against post-issuance allocation reports, we expose the true deployment of capital. While projects typically align with framework categories, identifying which specific projects will receive funding remains challenging.
The harsh reality? Post-issuance data is confusing, inconsistently formatted, and expensive. For new market bonds, there's been no reliable way to predict financing patterns when documents first appear.
ClimateAligned decisively and instantly maps ICMA categories and specific projects across the entire GSS bond market's framework documents and allocation reports. For repeat issuers, we reveal historical financing patterns. For new issuers, we instantly analyse frameworks upon release. This empowers you to forecast actual financing before investing, cutting through market opacity.
With data exportable in any format—whether the visual mapping shown in our demo or straightforward Excel—we deliver essential clarity to sustainable finance. Compare frameworks against reality at a glance, not through hours of painstaking analysis.
ClimateAligned's technology captures pre- and post-issuance allocation data at scale and in real time, providing the transparency investors need to drive capital where it's needed most.
