Sustainability is a core pillar of the bank’s business strategy and an integral part of risk management and long-term value creation. Sparebanken Norge targets net zero emissions by 2040, including material indirect emissions from its lending activities, and publishes climate accounts covering its full loan portfolio.
The updated framework supports lending to energy-efficient residential and commercial buildings in Norway, as well as renewable energy projects. It reflects the bank’s post-merger strategy and is aligned with international market standards for green bonds. The framework incorporates considerations related to EU Taxonomy alignment, transparency, and reporting, while maintaining a clear and disciplined approach to eligibility criteria and governance.
