Our Impact Report 2021 is out

Today, we publish our Impact Report 2021. In 2021, a new CEO and CFO joined NIB and we revised the Bank’s business strategy, leading us to seek more agile ways of working for the benefit of our customers and owners.

In 2021, we disbursed our first sustainability-linked loans, extended lending bond investments, and continued to provide long-term financing to projects including electricity networks, mergers and acquisition, municipality investment programmes, and the construction of laboratories and test sites for vehicle battery development and electrified transport. 

Last year, NIB also marked its 10th anniversary as an issuer of environmental bonds. Since the launch of the NIB Environmental Bond (NEB) Framework in 2011 until the end of 2021, we have issued EUR 5.8 billion in NEBs and financed over 130 sustainable projects with the proceeds. You can read about the impact here.

Following the adoption of the EU taxonomy for sustainable economic activities in 2020, we conducted a preliminary screening of the NEB project categories against the taxonomy.
