BOLIDEN, Sweden, June 8, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- To further support the
development in the area of sustainability towards current targets a
Green Finance Framework is launched that enables the issuance of
green bonds and loans.
Financing under the framework will be earmarked for projects and
investments within energy efficiency, pollution prevention and
control, research & development and clean transportation.
Examples of important projects that could be financed under the
framework include energy and heat recovery, process and mine
electrification, water purification, waste reduction and extraction
of metal from residual and recycled materials.
"The metals we produce are essential for both present and future
generations. Sustainable financing is an important part of
Boliden's strategy and the Green Finance Framework provides
investors transparency on how they are contributing to our vision
to be the most climate friendly and respected metal provider in the
world," says Mikael Staffas, President and CEO of Boliden.
The framework has undergone an independent external review by
CICERO Shades of Green, who have classified the framework as
"CICERO Medium green" with an "Excellent" governance score and
assessed it to be in alignment with the International Capital
Market Association Green Bond Principles and the Loan Market
Association Green Loan Principles. DNB acted as advisor in the
development of the framework.
The framework and CICERO Shades of Green's Second Opinion can be
