The financing has, for example, supported projects within renewable energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation.

One of the customers who have used green loans from SEK is Ellevio, one of Sweden’s largest electricity distribution companies. Ellevio uses the loans for critical investments in the electricity grid in central and southern Sweden to secure access to affordable electricity, which is a key component in the energy transition to an electrified, low-carbon society.

“Swedish companies are at the forefront of developing innovative and technological solutions that can contribute to the climate transition. SEK’s financing makes it possible for these to continue scaling up and help make a difference,” says Maria Simonson, Head of Client Relationship Management and Sustainability at SEK.

“Through SEK’s green bonds, we channel our investors’ money to projects with clear environmental benefits. Aligned with established frameworks such as ICMA and the EU Taxonomy, our approach ensures the transparency, traceability, and measurable impact that our investors expect,” says Helena Engnér-Aili, specialist Sustainable Finance at SEK.
