BUILDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES

We’re one of Australia’s leading arrangers of green, social and sustainability bonds¹ and a leading provider of sustainability linked loans. We develop innovative solutions to address environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues that matter to you, your customers, investors and community.

We collaborate with our clients and market participants across domestic and offshore capital markets. Some of our sustainable financing solutions include:

• NAB Climate Bonds and NAB SDG Green Bonds which have financed (or refinanced) portfolios of renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure across Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe and the Americas
• NAB Social Bond was Australia’s first social bond and the first globally to help address gender equality in the workplace¹
• Australia’s first green residential mortgage backed security⁴ (RMBS) with proceeds allocated to mortgages on qualifying Australian low carbon residential properties.

• Origination and distribution of green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds (GSSS) along with GSSS loans and sustainability linked derivatives.
• Investor diversification – access to both mainstream investors and those seeking socially responsible investment options.
• Access to global markets with issuance available in a range of currencies across major debt capital markets.

We’ve made a number of commitments to help address issues affecting our local and global communities, including:

• $2 billion commitment to financing affordable housing so more Australians can access appropriate accommodation and shelter.
• $70 billion commitment to financing environmental projects which help support the transition to a low carbon economy.
• a commitment to the United Nations (UN) Principles for Responsible Banking, which recognises the role we can play in developing a more sustainable banking industry.
