Green and sustainable financing
Rikshem issued green bonds for the first time in 2014 and was then one of the first real estate companies in the world with green bonds.
Rikshem's framework for green bonds is continuously updated to adapt to current standards in the market. The current framework from April 2025 entails a clearer adaptation to parts of the EU Taxonomy's criteria and creates prospects for additional green financing that contributes to Rikshem's long-term sustainability goals.
The framework has been reviewed by the independent research institute Morningstar Sustainalytics, which confirms that the framework is credible, effective and in line with ICMA's green bond principles. Rikshem has been advised by Handelsbanken.
Rikshem also has green financing through a credit facility with the European Investment Bank that can be used to finance investments in energy efficiency.
Rikshem's framework for sustainability-linked bonds was launched in 2024 and enables credit investors to contribute to Rikshem's important KPIs in the areas of security in the living environment, sustainable supply chains and targets for energy efficiency in existing portfolios and new construction. The framework is based on the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles and has been reviewed by the independent institute Sustainalytics.
