Green Bonds of Berlin Hyp –
a Sustainable Investment

Sustainability is an important aspect of Berlin Hyp’s corporate strategy. Financing green buildings represents the part of Berlin Hyp's sustainability measures that is closest to its core business: commercial real estate lending. With the issuance of Green Bonds Berlin Hyp added another element to its value chain and offers investors an added value in addition to its own credit quality and/or the credit quality of its mortgage cover pool.

Berlin Hyp issues Green Bonds either as covered bonds (Green Pfandbriefe) or as senior unsecured bonds (Green Senior). Both are documented in a unified framework. This Green Bond Program can be downloaded below. Bonds issued under the program are aligned to all key elements of the Green Bond Principles. Furthermore, it defines Berlin Hyp’s green building criteria, which focus on energy efficiency. Berlin Hyp has commissioned oekom research AG to assess the program’s sustainable value and to report annually on the bank’s compliance with the criteria defined in the program.
