Green financing enables the construction of more than 600 new apartments
Avain Yhtiöt signed the tenth green loan agreement in September 2022. In green loan agreements, financing costs are linked to environmental values, i.e. the energy efficiency of buildings has an impact on loan margins. The green financing agreements enable the construction of more than 600 new environmentally friendly A-energy class apartments for new residents in Finland’s growth centres. In the coming years, we will increasingly invest in reducing our carbon footprint, improving energy efficiency and making buildings more resistant to the effects of climate change. Our long-term goal is to be carbon neutral by 2035 in terms of carbon dioxide emissions related to the energy use of properties.
