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.

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.
