Green Finance Framework Overview
Uniper has introduced its Green Finance Framework to facilitate the issuance of green financing instruments. This initiative aligns with Uniper's transformation strategy and the EU Taxonomy criteria, supporting projects with measurable environmental benefits.
Eligible Projects and Instruments
The framework includes a variety of Green Financing Instruments such as Green Bonds and Green Loans. Funds will be directed towards projects in wind, solar photovoltaic, hydropower energy generation, and hydrogen production. Additionally, projects in low-carbon gas power generation and nuclear energy are eligible, with prior indication to investors if allocations are intended.
Compliance and Standards
The framework adheres to the Green Bond Principles by ICMA, Green Loan Principles by LMA, and the EU Taxonomy Regulation. It also aligns with evolving market practices and may support issuances under the European Green Bond Standard. S&P Global Ratings has provided a Second Party Opinion confirming compliance with these standards.
Future Plans
Uniper aims to invest approximately 8 billion euros by the early 2030s to transition towards carbon neutrality by 2040. Details on the timing, volume, and terms of the first issuance will be announced closer to the issuance date.
