It sets out the guidelines for issuance of green bonds and for new green facility agreements. We are the first multiutility in Europe to publish a framework certified as being in line with the EU Taxonomy
As pioneers in sustainable finance since 2014, when it issued the first green bond in Italy, we have published our new Green Financing Framework (GFF) that consolidates the transparency policy we pursue towards the investors.
Sustainability and ecological transition at the core of the new GFF
The new GFF is a landmark for issuance of green bonds and for new green facility agreements related to the following areas: “Sustainable Water and Wastewater Management”, “Circular Economy and Pollution Prevention and Control” and “Energy Efficiency and Energy Infrastructure”, selected in compliance with the Green Bond Principles 2021 (GBP) published by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) and the Green Loan Principles 2021 (GLP) published by the Loan Market Association (LMA).
Furthermore, the GFF sets out our commitment in the direction of the EU Taxonomy and of the Climate Transition Finance Handbook.
Consistently with our positioning characteristic since our establishment and with the strategies outlined in the 2025 Business Plan, the new GFF intends to promote, also through the sustainable finance leverage, the achievement of the goals related to the ecological transition, to which we direct the development of our businesses.
