Green Bond Fact Sheet

Willhem AB issued a SEK800m senior unsecured green bond on September 3, 2018, to finance green buildings, renewable energy, and clean transportation. The company, a Swedish real estate firm, targets a 25% reduction in building energy use relative to Swedish codes or specific certifications (e.g., LEED Gold, BREEAM Very Good). The Climate Bonds Initiative included the bond provided that fossil-fuel-based car pool projects comprise less than 5% of the proceeds or meet specific emission thresholds.

• Willhem AB issued a senior unsecured green bond on 03-Sept-2018 with a total amount of SEK800m (USD88m) and a maturity date of 03-Sept-2023.
• The proceeds of the bond are earmarked for three main categories: green buildings, renewable energy (including solar, geothermal, and wind power), and clean transportation (including electric vehicles and related infrastructure).
• For building energy efficiency, Willhem AB targets a 25% annual energy use reduction compared to Swedish codes and regulations, or certification from schemes such as LEED (minimum Gold), BREEAM (minimum ‘Very Good’), Miljöbyggnad (minimum Silver), Svanen, EU Green Building, or Fedy-12.
• Willhem AB, a Swedish real estate company owned by the AP Fund, aims to reduce portfolio energy consumption to an average of 92 kWh/m2 and has set a target to further reduce emissions by 25% from 2015 levels.
• The Climate Bonds Initiative included the bond based on the assumption that less than 5% of proceeds will be allocated to car pool services using fossil-fuel based vehicles, as these are not automatically aligned with the Climate Bonds Taxonomy unless they meet a threshold of 75gCO2/p-km.
