2024 Sustainable Development Goal bond reporting

In 2020, to increase the consistency of its 100% Paris Agreement and 100% Social Link commitments with its presence on the markets, the AFD Group set up a framework for bond issues aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Since then, AFD has been prioritising issuances in sustainable format, reflecting the strong overlap of environmental and social impacts in its action to serve the fair transition.

By participating in our issues, investors support AFD's financing and the methodology implemented to take sustainable development stakes into account. Through its operations, AFD continues to mobilize capital flows towards developing countries, where needs and impacts are the greatest.

Thus, in 2024, the investor community demonstrated its trust in these commitments by allowing AFD to issue more than half of its 2024 program in SDG format, representing more than 4.4 bn euros equivalent, including 2 public benchmark issues totaling 4 bn dollars.

The sustainable issuance program has continued to grow and evolve since AFD's first climate bond in 2014. With this 2024 impact report, AFD is once again presenting investors with its unwavering commitment to sustainable development.
