SEK publishes Green Bond Letter 2025
In total, SEK has issued USD 4.5 billion in green bonds under its sustainable bond frameworks. The financing contributes to an estimated annual reduction of approximately 5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions through projects including renewable energy.
Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time. At SEK, we believe that capital markets have a critical role to play in driving the transition to lower carbon emissions. Through sustainable financing, we support Swedish exporters in delivering solutions that contribute to the global transition to lower emissions, says Tobias Hornberger, CFO at SEK.
SEK publishes an annual Green Bond Letter that provides a transparent overview of how the proceeds from its green bonds have been used.
At the beginning of 2025, SEK launched an updated sustainable bond framework aligned with the latest market standards. The framework includes nine green and five social categories. SEK’s first green bond framework was launched as early as 2015.
“SEK’s ambition is to finance activities and projects that contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and environmental benefits. The updated framework is an important step in scaling up our work in sustainable finance,” says Tobias Hornberger.
The report also highlights two examples of projects financed through green loans from SEK: one of the largest solar parks in the Nordic region and offshore wind power in the Baltic Sea.
