At Swedbank, we take an active role to reduce our environmental impact, and we encourage our clients, as well as the companies in which we invest, to make sustainable choices. We are convinced that doing business in a more sustainable way will create added value for your operations. We offer a variety of Sustainable Finance- and investment solutions, advisory and research.

Sustainable Finance Solutions

Green Equity

Green Equity can be used by companies to increase the transparency of their sustainability work, and is possible if the majority of the company's revenues and investments can be classified as green.

Green Loans

We offer our corporate clients Green Loans within renewable energy; energy efficiency; sustainable management of living natural resources; pollution prevention and control; and clean transportation.

Sustainability Linked Loan

Sustainability Linked Loans are financing solutions that link the borrower's sustainability performance to the interest rate.

Green, Social and Sustainability Bonds

Green, Social and Sustainability Bonds enable financing of sustainable investments, and can strengthen transparency and awareness about an issuer's sustainability work among both internal and external stakeholders.

Sustainability Linked Bonds

Sustainability Linked Bonds are performance-based instruments that are linked to how well an issuer can meet a number of pre-defined sustainability goals.

Sustainable Commercial Papers

Commercial papers are short-term debt instruments issued by companies to cover their short-term financing needs. There is a growing interest in embedding environmental, social and governance factors in investment decisions. As a result of this the interest for sustainability-related commercial papers that are specifically designed to finance sustainable activities have emerged.

Sustainable Funds

There is great potential in companies that find solutions to the world’s sustainability challenges. This benefits both the companies and those investing in them. As part of our financial analysis, we identify companies’ sustainability risks as well as their opportunities for improvement.

Advisory and Research

Swedbank offers environmental, social and governance (ESG) research through our partnership with Kepler Cheuvreux. Swedbank Macro Research produces our Sustainability Indicators, which measure the progress of Nordic and Baltic countries towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The Swedbank Sustainability Indicators are included in research such as our flagship macroeconomic report, Swedbank Economic Outlook.
