Sustainable finance

Starting in 2017, through the issuance of its first Green Bond, the Iren Group embarked on a path of sustainable finance to support its investment strategies strongly focused on projects with positive sustainability impacts. The extensive use of green and assimilated instruments has over time changed the composition of the Group's debt, to date 62% of which is composed of sustainable finance instruments.

Debt structure

Iren has also consolidated its historic relationship with the European Investment Bank (EIB) as well as the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB), institutions that support investment projects that have environmental and social sustainability requirements.

Il nuovo Sustainable Financing Framework contempla l’utilizzo di strumenti sia di tipo Use of Proceeds sia di tipo Sustainability Linked.
