How can you finance your sustainable investment?


You can finance your sustainable project by applying for our green loan or by using our EIF guarantee, for example. We assess all projects on a case-by-case basis, helping you to choose the best option based on the purpose of your investment and your company’s business model.


Green loan
 

  • A green loan can be granted for green investments that enable businesses to reduce their environmental impact.
  • You can use a project with a strong sustainability profile in your stakeholder communication and reputation building.
  • You can get a green loan at a lower cost than a regular loan.

EIF guarantee
 

  • Granted on the basis of a green business model or for a green investment.
  • An EIF guarantee will serve as collateral for your loan, reducing your need for other collateral. It can cover up to 70 per cent of your loan.
  • You will get financing at lower cost since an EIF guarantee reduces the bank’s risk.
