Supplementary information

DekaBank has developed a Green Bond Framework as part of its refinancing activities, which enables her to issue Green Bonds. The Green Bond Framework of DekaBank is orientated towards the four core components of the Green Bond Principles (2021) of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) and their key recommendations for increasing transparency, including external verification. DekaBank states that for every issued Green Bond it will implement (1) the use of the proceeds, (2) project evaluation and selection, (3) the management of the emission proceeds and (4) the reporting and external verification in accordance with this framework.

The aim is to use the proceeds from the Green Bond to refinance existing sustainable loans and/or finance new projects. The framework focuses on two areas:
 
  • Loans for financing or refinancing investments, development, construction, operation, distribution, infrastructure and maintenance of renewable energy sources, as well as the connection of facilities for generating renewable energies to the power grid and transport through the network.
  • Loans for financing or refinancing “green” buildings that correspond to regionally, nationally or internationally recognised regulations, standards or certifications.
 

During the term of a Green Bond issuance, the annual Impact and Allocation Report provides information about the use of the proceeds and the ecological impact of the refinanced credits.
