Leading European Bank UniCredit has joined the Climate Bonds Partner program.
Antonio Keglevich, Head of Green Bond Origination at UniCredit, said:
“UniCredit was a midwife of the first EIB Climate Awareness Bonds back in 2007. We're now gearing up to help grow this market into a major contributor to addressing climate change. For that we're partnering with our friends at the Climate Bonds Initiative to promote awareness in the financial community.”
Climate Bonds CEO Sean Kidney said:
“UniCredit have been underwriters of some of Europe’s landmark green bonds, from the pioneering European Investment Bank deals to Italy’s first from Hera. Most recently they were behind Austria’s first green bond, from Verbund.”
“We’re expecting to see many more such bonds as part of our creative partnership.”
The Climate Bonds Initiative has issued an open invitation to banks, issuers, investors and NGOs to join as Climate Bond Partners to help rapidly grow what is already a US$50bn market of green and climate bonds.
