Kommuninvest’s Green Bonds Programme is approved in external review
27.12.2024 07:25:00 CET | Kommuninvest English | Pressmeddelande
The Green Bonds Framework is aligned with international guidelines, the so-called Green Bond Principles(GBP). There is a recommendation that issuers should use recurring external scrutiny to confirm that the green bonds meet key GBP criteria.
Kommuninvest's Green Bonds Framework every year undergoes an external review. The aim is to continuously provide assurance on the management of proceeds obtained from the issuance of these bonds. This year's assurance report, from Kommuninvest's external auditor EY, is now available.
Kommuninvest is Sweden's largest issuer of Green Bonds with twelve green bonds outstanding in SEK, USD and EUR. The Green Bonds proceeds are used to finance lending for green investments in the municipal sector. At mid-December, Kommuninvest had granted Green Loans totaling over SEK 125 billion, for over 700 investment projects in nearly 200 municipalities and regions.
