Berlin Hyp’s Sustainability-Linked Bonds –
Investments Aligned With the Paris Agreement’s Goals

Berlin Hyp uses Sustainability-Linked Bonds to combine its strategic sustainability goals with its refinancing on the capital market. These goals are derived from our sustainability agenda, the core of which is our clear commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement and the German government's climate path for the building sector. We are thus committed to climate neutrality by 2050 and - analogous to the climate path - aim to reduce CO₂ emissions by 40% between 2020 and 2030. This applies not only to our own business operations, but also in particular to our core business, commercial real estate financing.

Sustainability-linked bonds represent an additional class of refinancing instruments within our ESG funding mix, thus joining our engagement in the green bond market. The basis for the issuance of Sustainability-Linked Bonds is the framework available for download below, which complies with the ICMA Sustainability-Linked Bonds Principles. The development of the underlying key performance indicator is reported annually in a Sustainability-Linked Bond Report.
