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 2023, the investment community demonstrated its trust in these commitments by allowing AFD to issue three SDG bonds: two issues in euros for a total of 2.15 billion and one issue in dollars for 1.5 billion.
The sustainable issuance program has continued to grow and evolve since AFD's first climate bond in 2014. With this 2023 impact report, AFD is once again presenting investors with its unwavering commitment to sustainable development.
