BayernLB offers you sustainable financing

• upon the fulfilment of a social objective of the Bavarian sustainability strategy
• with the help of subsidies.

To receive a BayernLB green loan, your property must have

• an EPC, with an appropriate rating, or
• a sustainability certification issued by e.g. DGNB, LEED or BREAM, with an appropriately positive evaluation.

But there’s more: BayernLB’s real estate-connected subsidiaries also provide services that are focused on sustainability under our 360° approach:

• Real I.S.: Offers real estate funds with ecological characteristics that focus on reducing the GHG emissions caused by real estate. The primary objective is to invest in and continuously manage properties that, due to their specific characteristics, contribute to achieving the goal of the Paris Climate Agreement to limit global warming to less than 1.5°C by 2050 compared to pre-industrial levels. A "manage-to-green" approach is also pursued, i.e. within a specified period of time, the properties can be brought into line with the decarbonisation target path specific to the country and type of use through remediation measures.
  The assessment is based on the decarbonisation pathways published by the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM).
• LBImmoWert: Within the scope of the property valuation, the holistic concept of sustainability is taken into account and the relevant ESG criteria are addressed in detail. In addition to the sustainability score, which has been established for years, LBImmoWert has developed a method together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP, which is used to classify the energy efficiency of non-residential properties from class A to G.
• BayernFM: A wide range of support services on ESG issues in building management, from data analysis and evaluation to the development and implementation of optimisation measures and certification in accordance with DIN EN 16247-1 Energy Audit and GEFMA 160 Sustainable Management.
