As part of our ESG strategy, we are committed to improving existing and introducing new sustainable product offerings. This way we aim to support our clients’ transition to sustainable practices and business models.

Our sustainable financing performance

Green Bond Framework

Through our Green Bond Framework, we are committed to supporting our ESG strategy, financing projects that bring environmental benefits.

The Eurobank Green Bond Framework:

  • Outlines the principles under which Eurobank issues Green Bonds.
  • Describes how the Eurobank Green Bond supports and contributes to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
  • Aligns with the ICMA Green Bond Principles, the draft EU Green Bond Standard and the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (EU Taxonomy Regulation), on a best effort basis.

Sustainable Investment Framework

Committed to being transparent about our ESG approach, we developed our Sustainable Investment Framework, which outlines the classification process and approaches for selecting investments with sustainable features and monitoring the sustainable bond portfolio of our banking book.
