What is Sustainable Finance?

Sustainable or ESG finance (Environmental, Social and Governance in financing) is financing your investments that have a measurable sustainable (ESG) impact, either by green loans or by issuing green bonds. 
We finance green investments, such as investments in renewable energy sources, green buildings, green transportation, waste management, water management, as well as other ESG purposes. Also, we financially support your investments directed at gradual (transitional) measurable reduction of CO2 emissions and energy saving, as well as all activities with positive impact on climate changes.    
As a market leader in the ESG financial market, we wish to support you in making the transition to carbon-neutral technologies and other activities in accordance with the global trends, as well as with the EU targets related to gradual transition to a climate-neutral economy by 2050, as well as to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. 

Our products are tailored to take in account your needs and the ESG investments but are also in compliance with the national guidelines and activities determined by the EU Taxonomy.
