TELUS Corporation (TELUS) issued Canada’s first sustainability-linked bond (SLB), in mid-June 2021. An SLB was a newer category of green bond that allowed companies to raise funds for general corporate purposes instead of specific environmental projects. This SLB supported TELUS’s sustainability journey and commitments, towards which it had made significant progress since setting its first climate targets in 2011. Building on this success, TELUS set new goals in 2021 to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030 and had its targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative—the first telecommunications company in Canada to do so. Two analysts were tasked with analyzing the bond’s structure, pricing, and other features to recommend the credit spread for the SLB.
