Green Covered Bonds of UniCredit Bank Austria AG
At UniCredit Bank Austria AG, sustainability is part of our daily commitment and we continue to further implement environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects across our business, risks, and people. To that end, we have issued our first inaugural Green Mortgage Covered Bond in May 2022, followed by a second one in February 2023 and a third in January 2024 under the UniCredit Group's Sustainability Bond Framework. Proceeds from this and future bonds will be used to support eligible green projects.
UniCredit Group's Sustainability Bond Framework is based on the Green Bond Principles, Social Bond Principles and Sustainability Bond Guidelines as administered by the International Capital Markets Association ("ICMA"). The Sustainability Bond Framework is also intended to be aligned, on a best effort basis and to the extent currently possible, with ongoing proposals for the EU Green Bond Standard and the Technical Screening Criteria of the EU Taxonomy Delegated Act.
