Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank with a mission to improve social and economic outcomes in Asia and beyond. Headquartered in Beijing, AIIB began operations in January 2016 and, through its 103 approved members worldwide, enjoys a robust authorised capital stock of US$100 billion. AIIB works closely with other multilateral and bilateral development institutions to bridge the infrastructure funding gap to contribute to addressing the region’s development challenges.

Consistent with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), AIIB recognises the need to address the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental – in a balanced and integrated way.

The vision section of AIIB’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) describes the bank’s aspirations in integrating environmental and social sustainability into its mission. Part of the mission is to help members address their commitments to the SDGs and to achieve their nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement.

All AIIB bonds are sustainable development bonds. Use-of-proceeds language highlights the bank’s sustainable mission and refers to the bank’s strict environmental and social criteria applied in the approval process of bank financings.

SUSTAINABILITY OBJECTIVES OF GSS BOND PROGRAMME
AIIB’s financings undergo an approval, implementation and monitoring process designed to ensure they align with the bank’s mission and adhere to applicable environmental and social safeguards. Pending their use, the net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be invested as part of AIIB’s liquid-assets portfolio.
