Green bonds
SPF has invested 7.5 million euros in a “Green Bond” issued by the Dutch government. This makes SPF one of the largest investors, relatively speaking, in this first Green Bond issued by the Dutch government. It also puts the Netherlands as the first country with the highest credit rating (AAA) to issue a green bond. The funds raised from this bond are used to finance measures and projects that reduce CO2 emissions and help achieve the government's climate objectives.
Green bonds play an important role in stimulating positive climate and environmental results. Besides the fact that these bonds contribute to sustainable development, they also have a good return and a very good credit rating.
