Sustainable issuances

BBVA is one of the most experienced financial institutions in the green bond market. The bank’s activity started in 2007, when it participated in the issue of the first green bond by the European Investment Bank. Since then, the bank has led, structured, provided guidance on, and acted as the placement entity for social and green bond issues by clients in Europe, the United States, and Latin America.

In April 2018, BBVA published its framework for issuing sustainable bonds, linked to The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A few days later, it issued its first green bond by €1 billion in a Senior non Preferred format. At the time, BBVA’s inaugural green bond issuance was the largest in the euro area by a financial institution. BBVA has become one of the most active players in the green bond market.
