Hufvudstaden to launch framework for green bonds

Hufvudstaden is to launch a framework for green bonds and increase the established MTN programme to SEK 12 billion for borrowing in the Swedish bond market.

The aim of the framework is to finance green properties and invest in projects promoting climate transition and sustainability.

The framework has undergone an independent evaluation by Cicero (Cicero Shades of Green), which issued a second opinion with the grade of “Medium Green” in terms of the level of greenness and a score of “Excellent” for governance.

“The green framework is a natural part of Hufvudstaden’s sustainability work and an important support in the transition to a society with less climate impact,” says Ivo Stopner, President, Hufvudstaden.

The framework is based on Green Bond Principles and has been prepared in consultation with Svenska Handelsbanken. The framework and second opinion are available on Hufvudstaden’s website, hufvudstaden.se.
