The Proceeds from the bond issue, which replaces ENTRA52 ESG, 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 today
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.
