We are pleased to announce today the publication of our 2024 Green Bond Impact Report, which assesses the environmental impact of our green bond strategies and their environmental impact.
Our impact investing philosophy is founded on three core pillars, which form the basis of our green bond strategies:
- Intentionality: investing with a clear environmental objective
- Measurability: tracking avoided CO₂ emissions
- Additionality: engage with issuers to improve Green Bond practices
Key highlights of our Green bond strategies
- €5.5 billion invested in green bond strategies (as of 31/12/2024)
- +2,400 Green, Social and Sustainability bonds analyzed in Amundi’s proprietary database
- An average of 322 tons of CO₂ emissions are avoided per €1 million invested across our three open-ended funds.
- Main projects financed include renewable energy, green buildings, clean transport, energy efficiency and sustainable land and water use
- All funds are SFDR Article 9 and carry demanding labels such as Greenfin (France) and Towards Sustainability (Belgium)
Alban de Faÿ, Head of Sustainable Responsible Investment processes for Fixed Income said:
“The Green Bond Market has experienced significant growth over the past fifteen years, reaching €2,221 billion with new green bond issuance amounted to €442 billion in 2024. It has now become well-established, mature, and offers a wide range of opportunities we are committed to explore and invest in, on behalf of our clients. With our green bonds funds, we aim to finance the energy transition by investing in green bonds with positive and measurable impact on the environment and delivering returns throughout the different economic cycles. With this report, we aim to provide transparency regarding these funds, illustrating what we finance and the environmental benefits achieved.”
