Green financing is an important part of Fingrid’s financing strategy and responsible operating model. Fingrid was the first Finnish company to issue a Green Bond in 2017. Green Bonds are used to finance projects that are expected to have long-term net positive environmental impacts. Green Bond projects connect renewable energy production to Fingrid’s transmission network, reduce electricity transmission losses and create smart solutions that save energy and the environment. Fingrid annually reports on the impacts of its Green Bond projects by publishing a separate impact report on its website under Investors. As of 2019, the company also discloses the estimated amount of carbon dioxide emissions that have been avoided through these projects in carbon dioxide equivalent tonnes.
