Green and Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework

To support Gränges’ sustainability ambitions and targets, the company has published a combined Green and Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework to allow for the issuance of Green Bonds and Sustainability-Linked Bonds.

The framework allows Gränges to issue both Green and Sustainability-Linked Debt, as well as a combination of the two. By creating a combined framework the company enables investments in green projects and assets, as well as investments to increase its sustainability performance for the overall business.
