Green Bond Fact Sheet

A Green Bond Fact Sheet detailing a USD 500 million green bond issued by Welltower on December 16, 2019, for the purpose of funding green buildings and energy and water efficiency improvements.

• Welltower issued a green bond on December 16, 2019, with a total amount of USD 500 million and a maturity date of February 15, 2027.
• The proceeds of the bond are allocated to water and energy efficiency, as well as green buildings. To be eligible, green buildings must meet specific industry certifications: LEED (gold or above), BREEAM (very good), EPC (B or above), or Energy Star (75 or above). Energy and water efficiency projects must demonstrate a minimum improvement of 25% compared to benchmark standards.
• Welltower plans to report the allocation of proceeds annually on its website until full allocation is reached. The company has committed to reporting environmental performance indicators, specifically GHG emissions avoided, water use savings, energy savings, and the level of green building certification achieved.
• The Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) noted that the requirement for EPC ratings of B or above represents the top 15% of the most efficient buildings in the UK, and that the 25% minimum improvement for energy and water efficiency aligns with market standards.
