Canadian convenience store operator Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc said on Monday that it has priced a $1 billion debt offering, including inaugural green bonds.
Green bonds are a category of fixed-income securities that raise capital for projects with environmental benefits, such as renewable energy or low-carbon transport.
The private debt offering included a $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior unsecured notes due 2051, referred to by the company as the green bonds.
The statement from Couche-Tard did not disclose further pricing details of the overall bond sale.
In March, the Canadian company reported a 20.8% fall in quarterly revenue to $13.16 billion.
Separately, Amazon.com Inc issued its first sustainability bond on Monday, raising $1 billion to invest in renewable energy, clean transport, greener buildings and affordable housing.
