Yuexiu Property continues to benchmark against ever-improving international standards and best practices, referring to the voluntary guidelines Green Bond Principles (2025), Social Bond Principles (2025) and Sustainability Bond Guidelines (2021) by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), as well as the Green Loan Principles (2025) and the Social Loan Principles (2025) by the Loan Market Association (LMA), Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APLMA) and the Loan Syndications and Trading Association (LSTA) to set up Yuexiu Property’s Sustainable Finance Framework.
