Why green finance?
• Because it is the right thing to do. Acting sustainably is more important than ever, and finance plays an important role in this respect.
• Because it broadens the range of accessible financing sources. More and more lenders and investors earmark ever larger funds for sustainable finance.
• Because it will lead to lower cost of funds. Currently, the monetary advantages are still relatively small. However, we expect that the “greenium” will increase constantly.
