Green Framework within SFF

Jointly with SEB, Svensk FastighetsFinansiering AB (SFF) has developed a Green Framework for the company's MTN programme. To ensure that SFF's framework meets stringent environmental standards, it has been reviewed by the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research (Cicero), an independent research institute based at the University of Oslo. The Green Framework also provides impetus to the borrowers' long-term and ambitious activities to realise greener operations.
