EBRD invests €40 million in Akropolis’s green bond in Lithuania

The EBRD funds will support the refinancing of the company’s existing €300 million Eurobond and help to finance a portfolio of eligible green projects. The proceeds of the existing Eurobond were used to finance a portfolio of green assets that are certified as “very good” by BREEAM. By issuing this green bond, Akropolis is demonstrating its commitment to maintaining these green certification standards, ensuring that these assets continue to have a positive environmental impact.

Furthermore, the use of the EBRD funds under the Green Finance Framework is aligned with the “significant contribution” criteria in the European Union’s Taxonomy Regulation, reinforcing the credibility and climate impact of the investment.

Transparent impact reporting is also a core component of this green bond issuance. Akropolis – which has been supported by the EBRD since 2021 – has committed to publicly disclosing impact metrics, enabling investors to track the performance and environmental benefits of the refinanced assets over time.
