In May 2021, EWE published its first framework for green financing, the so-called Green Finance Framework. In April 2026, the framework was updated to reflect continuously evolving market standards. In doing so, EWE aligns with the internationally recognised 2025 Green Bond Principles (GBPs) of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) as well as the 2025 Green Loan Principles (GLPs) of the LMA, LSTA and APLMA, which promote transparency regarding the use of proceeds and their environmental impact.
