Green Bond Fact Sheet

A fact sheet detailing a EUR 100 million green bond issued by WDP, a Belgian logistics real estate company, on March 30, 2018.

• WDP issued a green bond on March 30, 2018, with an amount of EUR 100 million (USD 123.2 million) and a maturity date of March 30, 2029. This issuance is noted as the first green US Private Placement by a Belgian corporate, the second green bond from the logistics sector, and the third from a Belgian issuer.
• The proceeds of the bond are designated for water management, recycling, clean transport infrastructure, onsite renewable energy, and green buildings that meet BREAM "Very Good" or LEED "Gold" certification levels.
• CICERO's Second Party Opinion rated the green buildings category as "Medium to Light Green," citing a lack of specified energy efficiency thresholds beyond certification levels. The Climate Bonds Initiative agreed with this assessment, stating that adding minimum thresholds for energy efficiency improvements would enhance the buildings' green credentials.
