Entra ASA has issued a new 8.5 year fixed rate green bond (ISIN NO0011041535) with term from June 30, 2021 to February 1, 2030. The coupon is 2.49 % p.a. and the first tranche amounts to NOK 1.0 billion. The Proceeds from the bond issue is earmarked funding of a pool of properties/projects with high environmental standards and a certification from BREEAM with a minimum certification of "excellent". The current green bond framework for Entra was established in September 2016 by the Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research Oslo (Cicero), an independent research centre linked to the University of Oslo in Norway, and was updated in April 2018 to also include BREEAM-In-Use. Cicero has given Entra's green bond framework its highest rating - Dark Shade of Green. This rating is according to Cicero given only to projects and solutions that already realise the long term vision of a low-carbon and climate-resilient future. Typically, this will entail zero-emission solutions and governance structures that integrate environment concerns into all activities.
