Eligible Categories and Framework Governance

SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge has established a Green Finance Framework in line with the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) Green Bond Principles (2021, with June 2022 Appendix I) and the Loan Market Associa­tion (LMA) Green Loan Principles (2023). 

The framework defines the following eligible use of proceeds categories:

  • Green Buildings
  • Renewable Energy
  • Clean Transportation
  • Environmentally Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources and Land Use

A Second Party Opinion of the framework has been provided by ISS ESG.

SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge believes that green finance instruments are an effective tool to channel investments to projects that contribute to environmental objectives.
