YIT launches a new Green Finance Framework

YIT has established a new Green Finance Framework to support investments that contribute to the company's sustainability goals. YIT has previously set science-based targets to reduce emissions, in addition to which YIT aims to be carbon neutral in its own operations (scope 1 and 2) by 2030. The Green Finance Framework will further integrate the company's ambitious sustainability goals into its financing. The first Green Finance Framework was established by YIT already in 2021.

With the help of the Green Finance Framework, YIT can issue green bonds and raise capital through other green financing instruments to finance environmentally friendly projects. The proceeds from the issuances of green debt will be used to finance eligible assets and projects which are divided into four green project categories, each of which helps both the company and YIT's customers progress in the green transition. The green project categories are green buildings, clean transportation, energy efficiency and sustainable water and wastewater management.

The allocation of proceeds and the environmental impact of the Green Projects financed will be reported on an annual basis until full allocation, and in the event of a significant change in allocation. 

The Green Finance Framework is available in English at www.yitgroup.com/debtinvestors together with a second party opinion from ISS-Corporate confirming the Green Finance Framework's alignment with the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) Green Bond Principles published in 2025 (including the updated appendix 1 of June 2022), the European Loan Market Association (LMA), the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APMLA) and the Loan Syndication Trading Association (LSTA) Green Loan Principles published in 2025.

Danske Bank A/S acted as an advisor in the preparation of the Green Finance Framework.
