Green Bond Fact Sheet

This fact sheet from the Climate Bonds Initiative details a EUR 750 million green bond issued by Assicurazioni Generali on October 1, 2019, marking several firsts for the Italian insurance and financial corporate sectors.

• Assicurazioni Generali issued a senior subordinated green bond on October 1, 2019, with a total amount of EUR 750 million (USD 819 million) and a maturity date of October 1, 2030.
• The bond represents three significant milestones: it is the first green bond from an Italian insurance provider, the first from an Italian financial corporate to finance more than two categories (financing five), and the first senior subordinated green bond from Italy confirmed by the Climate Bonds Initiative.
• Proceeds are designated to finance or refinance projects supporting the Group's sustainability strategy and the financial sector's transition to a low-carbon economy across six eligibility areas: Green Buildings, Renewable Energy Electricity and Heat Production, Energy Efficiency, Clean Transportation, Sustainable Water Management, and Recycling, re-use & waste management.
• The issuer has committed to annual reporting on the use of proceeds and impacts until full allocation. Use of proceeds reporting will be broken down by project/asset category and geographic area, while impact reporting will follow sector-specific metrics on a best efforts basis.
