First Financing by Piraeus Bank to TERNA-ENERGY Group with criteria related to Environmental, Social and Governance issues.

In the context of the long-term financing of TERNA ENERGY Group Renewable Energy Source (RES) projects, Piraeus Bank was the first in Greece to include principles of Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance in financing criteria.
These principles promote sustainable growth and take into account, among other things, the following:

  • Reduction of annual carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) emissions, within the next five years overall, by at least 20%.
  • Implementation of the Eco-Management and Audit System (EMAS).

This financing reflects €150 million in TERNA ENERGY investments for Renewable Energy Sources in Greece (wind parks, hydroelectric projects and solar parks) producing a total power of over 120 MW.

In this way, Piraeus Bank is consolidating its leading position in financing of the RES sector, while at the same time manifesting its commitment to the Principles of Responsible Banking, transparently implementing ESG principles in its banking procedures that take into account environmental protection and society’s support.
