The bank intends to launch Climate Bonds. For this purpose, concept studies are elaborated to specify obligations for the financing of residential buildings that could be appropriate for the re-financing in accordance to the „Climate Bonds, Residential Property Climate Bonds, Certification methodology“ (www.climatebonds.net/standard/buildings). This standard allows for the bonding of the financing of up to 15 per cent of the most appropriate buildings of a comparison group to a Climate Bond. This is followed up by a technical report concerning the evaluation of the residential building financing portfolio of the bank that will serve as the basis for the later verification of the bank´s selection for the Climate Bond by an accredited verifier.
MACS was therefore targeted with the portfolio screening of Scope 3 emissions as well as with the elaboration of a concept study assessing EU benchmarks for climate friendly residential buildings.
