Summary

The paper derives six design principles for blockchain-based green bond reporting that reflect the most relevant blockchain concepts and today's green bond process, helping organizations make informed design decisions to strengthen the credibility of sustainable capital markets.

Artifact

Design principles for blockchain-based applications supporting green bond reporting.

Methodology

Design science research; ten expert interviews and blockchain literature; artificial evaluation and demonstration.

02

DSR grid

Six dimensions represented in the current paper record.

01

Problem description

The credibility of emerging sustainable capital markets depends on the trustworthiness of the data used to report the green impact of projects financed by green bonds.

02

Input knowledge

Blockchain literature on consensus, smart contracts, incentives and roles; the green-bond reporting process and domain; expert interviews.

03

Research process

Design science research: ten expert interviews plus blockchain literature, with an artificial evaluation and demonstration of the principles.

04

Key concepts

Blockchain, green bond reporting, design science, sustainable finance.

05

Solution description

Design principles for blockchain-based green-bond reporting (consortium chain, PoA consensus, smart-contract validation, reputation incentives, off-chain decisions, role-based privileges). Solution-space representation: Design principles (nascent design theory) with artificial evaluation and demonstration.

06

Output knowledge

Six design principles for blockchain-based green-bond reporting.

6 Design Principles

design-knowledge/green-bond-reporting-dp-dp1

DP1 - Consortium blockchain

Use a consortium blockchain.

design-knowledge/green-bond-reporting-dp-dp2

DP2 - Proof-of-authority consensus

The proof-of-authority consensus mechanism is suitable due to some level of trust already existing.

design-knowledge/green-bond-reporting-dp-dp3

DP3 - Smart-contract document validation

Smart contracts can validate that an authorized party uploaded and signed the file.

DP4 - Reputation-based incentives

Design for reputation rather than monetary incentives.

DP5 - Off-chain decision-making

Off-chain decisions different stakeholders take remain in their current format. On-chain decisions are facilitated through smart contracts.

DP6 - Role-based privileges

The issuer, second opinion provider, and investor are identified as different roles with different privilege rights, such as access and editing rights and building and approving blocks.
