We’ve been “doing sustainability” for years and helping companies with their transformation. This requires a profound understanding of the opportunities in the market and the regulatory framework.

For green, social and ESG-linked loans, we follow our Sustainable Lending Framework, which is based on the LMA guidelines, among others. The Framework provides the guidance and parameters for our sustainable financing activities, which are aligned with our Sustainability Strategy from the outset. This makes BayernLB’s range of sustainable credit finance products transparent, thereby serving also as a seal of quality.
