Yesterday was all about sustainable financing at the World Green Building Council’s Global Solutions Forum in London. As a significant step towards our sustainability goals, we talked about the importance of our recently introduced Green Finance Framework aligned with the latest market standards. Under this framework, we became the first European manufacturer in the heavy building materials industry to successfully place a Green Bond, raising €700 million. Our rationale is clear. We want to align our funding needs with our sustainability strategy. The newly introduced framework, alongside our sustainability-linked bonds issued in 2023 (each totaling EUR 750 million), will help us increase transparency, showcase how we utilise the funds, and further promote green initiatives. The goal is to increase the share of sustainable financial instruments to over 70% by 2025. #SustainableFinance #GreenBuilding #Decarbonization #GreenBonds #Sustainability #WorldGBC #GlobalSolutionsForum Anna Wild
