This is the bank's eighth environment, social and governance factors themed corporate bond and the first of its kind aimed at advancing racial equality, the bank saidAn amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering will be set aside for social and environmental purposes, and projects include financing, leasing and investments that support the transition to a low-carbon economy, the bank said.
In June, the investment bank had pledged $1 billion to help communities across the United States address economic and racial inequality.
