ABN AMRO publishes updated Green Bond Framework aligned with new EU Green Bond Standard

ABN AMRO was among the first banks in Europe to issue green bonds in 2015. With this recent update, ABN AMRO reaffirms its pioneering role in sustainable finance. ABN AMRO is the first commercial bank to have aligned its framework with the criteria of the recently approved EU Green Bond Standard, evidenced by an external best-effort opinion provided by ISS Corporate.

Eligible assets and nominated projects are expected to meet the EU Taxonomy climate change mitigation criteria, adhere to the Do Not Significant Harm (‘DNSH’) principle and meet Minimum Social Safeguard requirements, underscoring ABN AMRO’s dedication to robust sustainability.
