Bank of the Energy Transition
Transformation is our mission
For us, being a bank of the energy transition means more than individual green products: it means understanding sustainability as a strategic opportunity driver and systematically integrating it into our lending, risk management and portfolio management. With our expertise as a specialist financier, we support our customers in their projects responsibly and on the basis of clearly defined sustainability criteria.
We finance the expansion of renewable energies, modern grid infrastructure, storage solutions and innovative transition technologies, provided that these are linked to verifiable decarbonisation plans. At the same time, we support companies in gradually and economically viable in aligning their business models with climate-friendly solutions. In this way, we ensure that our capital is not only moved, but also contributes to verifiable emission reductions and the expansion of renewable capacities.
Sustainable action requires consistent implementation
Partner in the energy transition
We are firmly rooted in our region and serve our customers nationwide.
NORD/LB supports investments in wind power, solar energy and storage technologies with structured capital provision and in-depth risk analysis. We support project developers, energy companies and municipalities in the implementation of climate-relevant infrastructure projects – from the financing of individual plants to complex energy portfolios.
Our priority is in particular on investments in transformation projects. Sustainability criteria, regulatory requirements and sector-specific review standards are mandatory components of the credit decision. Climate and transition risks are systematically assessed and integrated into risk management. Our alignment with the Sustainable Finance Goals and the Principles for Responsible Banking underpins this approach.
