Green Bond

Awareness of sustainability has risen sharply in recent years, not only among young people - partly due to the Fridays for Future movement. Companies are also becoming increasingly aware of their responsibility towards the environment. At NORD/LB we have been working on the implementation of green financial products for some years now. The Green Bond is the central product on the funding side. Dr Frederik Kunze and Philipp Bank report on the development of the Green Pfandbrief.
