Financing for Energy, Infrastructure and Transformation
As a specialist financier, NORD/LB supports companies and projects in selected industries and future-oriented sectors. These include renewable energy, energy and grid infrastructure, storage solutions, as well as other technologies and projects relevant to the transformation of the economy and infrastructure.
In our financing decisions, we consider defined ESG requirements alongside economic and risk-related criteria. For selected sectors, we have developed Transformation Guidelines that include sector-specific requirements, exclusion criteria and additional assessment criteria. Our aim is to support customers with suitable financing projects and to incorporate developments in relevant markets and sectors into our analyses and management processes at an early stage.
Transparent and accessible sustainability reporting
Our sustainability reporting is based on the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The implementation of these requirements helps to improve the transparency, comparability, and traceability of disclosed sustainability-related information.

We support project developers, energy companies and municipalities in implementing climate-related infrastructure projects – from financing individual assets to complex energy portfolios.
Our focus is particularly on investments in our customers' energy and transformation projects. Sustainability criteria, regulatory requirements and sector-specific assessment standards are a binding part of the lending decision. Climate and transition risks are assessed systematically and integrated into risk management.

Beyond NORD/LB itself, we are specifically committed to social initiatives, especially in the areas of education and the common good.
Governance

We are committed to high standards of integrity, reliable processes and consistent compliance with legal and regulatory standards. ESG is firmly embedded in our management framework and supports responsible, long-term corporate governance.
