Nordea Exceeds EUR 200 Billion in Sustainable Financing

Nordea Bank Abp has announced a significant milestone, exceeding EUR 200 billion in sustainable financing. The bank reported on September 8, 2025, that it reached this target six months earlier than planned, highlighting its commitment to sustainable business practices amidst market uncertainty.

The bank's latest figures show that its Large Corporates & Institutions division facilitated an additional EUR 16 billion in sustainable financing during the quarter, bringing the total to EUR 202 billion. This surpasses Nordea's target of over EUR 200 billion for the 2022–2025 period.

Nordea has continued to develop its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) advisory services and has strengthened its position as a provider of sustainable financing for Nordic corporate bonds and loans. Petteri Änkilä, Head of Large Corporates & Institutions, emphasized the bank's role in supporting customer transitions, noting a practical and collaborative approach.

The financing also includes green mortgages for personal customers and green and sustainability-linked loans for small and medium-sized businesses. Nina Arkilahti, Head of Business Banking, stated that customers are actively seeking ways to transition to more sustainable business models. Nordea's sustainable financing portfolio now represents 14% of the bank's total lending. The bank has also expanded its guarantee agreement with the European Investment Fund (EIF) to EUR 393 million, aiming to further support Nordic SMEs.
