About Rentenbank
Rentenbank is Germany’s development agency for agribusiness and rural areas. It was established by statute in 1949 as a central refinancing institution for the agricultural and food industry. Rentenbank pursues an integral promotional approach at low interest rates. It comprises the sectoral promotion of agriculture across the value chain, development of rural areas and investment in renewable energies. The agency pays particular attention to promoting investments aimed at the progressive and sustainable development of agribusiness. Rentenbank lends its support to highly innovative projects.
Sustainable funding strategy
In 2020, Rentenbank published its green bond framework, which is in line with the Green Bond Principles and stipulates that proceeds from green bonds are used to fund renewable energy projects to mitigate climate change: EU Environmental Objective 1. Furthermore, Rentenbank’s green bonds contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goals 7 (affordable and clean energy) and 13 (climate action).
An annual green bond investor report provides information on allocation and impact analysis. A dedicated green bond committee evaluates, selects and monitors eligible green loans and further development of the framework.
