Sustainable funding strategy

The basis of all L-Bank activities is the statutory public-service mandate set down in the L-Bank Act. The bank’s business activities are focused on the sustainable development of the bank and the state of Baden-Württemberg.

For this purpose, sustainability aspects are embedded in L-Bank’s business strategy and a sustainability management system was introduced in 2013. At the same time, the state of Baden-Württemberg’s sustainability strategy acts as L-Bank’s guideline and frame of reference. As all business activities of L-Bank have an environmental or social purpose, L-Bank considers all its bonds to be sustainable.
