Green financing

Rikshem issued green bonds for the first time in 2014 and was then one of the first housing companies in the world with green bonds. In January 2020, the framework was updated, and is now wider in scope and has been adapted to align with current market standards.

The framework is based on Green Bond Principles (2018), and, like Rikshem's previous green framework, has a second opinion from the independent climate and environmental research institute Cicero (Center for International Climate Reserach). Cicero has given the framework the assessment “medium green”.
