Powering the future
Banking the global shift to sustainable energy
Banking the Energy Transition
We are committed to contribute to a future-proof energy system. A system that will strongly revolve around energy saving and using low or no carbon instead of fossil sources: from energy companies to small enterprises, from multinationals to farms or family homes. Green energy should become affordable, available and accessible for everyone.
Global coverage across the entire value chain
Our strategy is based on a clean energy value chain approach with the goal to invest our capital in the reduction of emissions. For over 20 years we have been financing renewable energy and we will further increase our efforts to avoid and reduce emissions in sectors where we have a significant position.
