Abstract
One of the main ways for banks to implement activities within the ESG agenda is to issue green securities, the proceeds of which go to finance environmental projects. In turn, the nature of investments is reflected in the so-called discount on greenness or the greenium effect, which may scare away a potential investor. But the situation is different in the emerging green bond market in Russia. In this regard, an analysis of the main characteristics of green bonds of the Russian banking sector, as well as an assessment of their investment attractiveness in comparison with instruments of the classical type, offers an effective tool for the formation of long-term capital aimed at implementing the concept of sustainable development.
