Sustainable funding

Nordea is on a significant change journey to integrate sustainability in all group functions and business areas. Promoting businesses and innovations with sustainable solutions of energy and infrastructure is a priority in our investment and lending policies and guidelines. The Nordea Green Bond and Sustainable-linked loan funding framework represent a further step in our effort to incorporate environmental considerations in our core operations. 

The “SLL funding framework” will allow Nordea Bank Abp to issue funding/bonds with a reference to the impact of the sustainability-linked loans (SLLs) on Nordea’s balance sheet in a use-of-proceeds (UOP) format. The Nordea SLL framework is unique being both sustainability-linked and use of proceeds (UOP). Nordea has obtained an external review from ISS.

The Nordea green funding framework is consistent with the green bond principles as formulated by the international capital market association. Nordea has obtained a second party opinion from ISS ESG on the Nordea green funding framework and green bond assets.

Deposit with climate focus is a term deposit, where funds are held for a fixed tenor and where an equivalent amount is intended to be invested and reinvested in the green bond asset categories according to the Nordea green funding framework.

We provide our clients with a platform to invest their surplus cash balances in a way that contributes to  eligible environmental projects within renewable energy, clean transportation, pollution prevention and control, green building, sustainable water, wastewater management, and others.
