This study aims to provide a complex overview of the sustainability aspect of green mortgage and corporate bonds issued in the Hungarian market. The assessment is based on the green bond frameworks, the business profile of each issuer, and the publicly available data of the issuances. The study analyses the seven sectors of the green bond market (real estate, construction, mortgage banks, holding companies, manufacturing, agriculture, wholesale and retail trade). It is proven that out of the sustainable development goals (SDG), SDG 7 is the most supported one. Most issuers plan to use metrics related to pollution prevention, energy efficiency, clean transportation, and water- and wastewater management. Moreover, in four of the seven sectors involved, corporate awareness of green issues could be considered high.

Sustainability is a crucial dimension of our life at the beginning of the third millennium. Our society transforms and changes even faster and more continuously than at any time earlier. Our work aims to define a new concept: the cognitive sustainability domain. Several fields of science were explored to recognize how the interdisciplinary approach of cognitive sustainability is valid. The former joint use of cognitivity and sustainability was reviewed in the literature as well. Results showed that digital development lets us extend our experiential cognition in most fields of our lives. Limits of the available resources and the development of cognitive functionalities are the enablers to connecting and addressing sustainability. Main dimensions and parameters of cognitive sustainability were identified, and several key research areas were defined. The structured handling of cognitive tools within sustainability results in a broader interpretation framework for analyzing, understanding and developing processes in sustainability.
