Ken Najder, a partner in the Corporate Practice Group in the New Orleans office, authored the New Orleans CityBusiness article “Sustainability-Linked Bonds: A New Way to Connect Business, ESG Goals,” on the emerging demand for sustainability-linked bonds and how companies like Lumen Technologies, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Level 3 Financing, Inc., have used these corporate bonds to align with specific environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. Ken explains how sustainability-linked bonds are structured and discusses how mounting concerns from stakeholders are leading businesses to find creative ways to commit to ESG initiatives.
