Sustainability Bonds
To continue supporting M&T’s strategy to growing climate finance and financing an equitable economy, we created a Sustainable Financing Framework for the issuance of green bonds and social bonds (collectively, “sustainability bonds”). The Framework is designed to meet industry standards and defines the asset types eligible for allocation.
M&T’s Sustainable Financing Framework establishes standards intended to support Renewable Energy, Green Buildings, and Affordable Housing projects in an effort to expand our ability to support positive social and environmental impact throughout the communities we serve.
Sustainalytics was engaged to provide a Second-Party Opinion regarding the credible impact of our Framework which aligns with the Sustainability Bond Guidelines (2021), Green Bond Principles (2021), and Social Bond Principles (2023).
