DNB Green Bonds
DNB has established a green finance framework which enables DNB to issue Green Senior Bonds and Green Covered Bonds.
The framework is established in line with the ICMA Green Bond Principles and follows best market practice.
DNB's eligible green loan portfolio consists of three categories: Green Residential Buildings, Renewable Energy and Clean Transportation.
DNB has appointed Multiconsult and Carbon Trust to provide an impact assessment for the separate categories, see impact reports below. Additionally, DNB has obtained a second party opinion from Sustainalytics, which includes an assessment on the alignment of the portfolio with the EU Taxonomy, and a limited assurance report from Multiconsult.
Green Bonds suit well with DNB’s overall strategy, where Corporate Responsibility has been raised as one of four priorities to be incorporated in all processes in DNB.
