Each of thecompany’s eight securitizations has been designated as green by Sustainalytics, an investment research firm specialized in environmental, social and governance (ESG) research and analysis. HERO bonds also adhere to the Green Bond Principles, a set of commonly agreed standards in the capital markets on what constitutes a Green bond. Renovate America’s latest securitization of PACE bonds is the largest such deal completed by any issuer. Moody’s Investor Service also assigned the notes it’s highest Green Bond Assessment grade – GB1. PACE green bonds such as those issued by Renovate America have received significant investor interest in part because they do not fund aspirational or speculative projects; the proceeds have already been invested in projects with verified environmental impact. The HERO bond platform was most recently recognized by GlobalCapital for the Best Green/SRI ABS Deal of the Year Award and was ranked second for the North American Green/SRI Deal of the Year.
