Sparebanken Norge & Sparebanken Norge Boligkreditt AS Update Green Bond Framework

23 Dec 2025 11:53 CET

Sparebanken Norge (& Sparebanken Norge Boligkreditt AS) has updated its Green
Bond Framework to support the financing and refinancing of assets that
contribute to the transition to a low-emission economy, in line with the bank’s
sustainability strategy.

Sustainability is a core pillar of the bank’s business strategy and an integral
part of risk management and long-term value creation. Sparebanken Norge targets
net zero emissions by 2040, including material indirect emissions from its
lending activities, and publishes climate accounts covering its full loan
portfolio.

The updated framework supports lending to energy-efficient residential and
commercial buildings in Norway, as well as renewable energy projects. It
reflects the bank’s post-merger strategy and is aligned with international
market standards for green bonds. The framework incorporates considerations
related to EU Taxonomy alignment, transparency, and reporting, while maintaining
a clear and disciplined approach to eligibility criteria and governance.

ING acted as Sole Green Structuring Advisor for the Green Bond Framework 2025.

Moody’s has provided a Second Party Opinion and Multiconsult will deliver a
technical assessment of eligible green assets.

Through the updated framework, Sparebanken Norge & Sparebanken Norge
Boligkreditt AS strengthen their approach to sustainable finance and its
contribution to the development of the green bond market.
