Green Bond Fact Sheet

This fact sheet from the Climate Bonds Initiative details a EUR 500 million green bond issued by Swisscom on May 14, 2020, with a maturity date of November 14, 2028. The bond is intended to fund energy efficiency, renewable energy, and clean transportation projects.

• Swisscom issued a green bond on May 14, 2020, for an amount of EUR 500 million (USD 556 million) with a maturity date of November 14, 2028, and a coupon of 0.375%.
• The proceeds of the bond are allocated to three eligible project categories: Energy Efficiency (including network development, operations, IoT networks, and building improvements), Renewable Energy (off-grid solutions like solar panels or biomass heating compliant with EU Taxonomy), and Clean Transportation (replacing diesel cars with electric vehicles and optimizing route management).
• Swisscom is the sixth organization in the Communications industry sector to issue a green bond. The issuance saw significant investor demand, accumulating EUR 5bn in interest, resulting in a book that was ten times covered.
• The issuer will provide an annual allocation report until full allocation, covering total investments, the share of financing versus refinancing, and any unallocated proceeds. Environmental impact reporting will be on a project portfolio basis, potentially including annual direct energy savings in MWh, GHG emissions scope 1 and 2, and the number of vehicles in the fleet.
