Amsterdam, Thursday, 19 December 2024.
ASN Bank continues to support over 125 green projects, offering tax benefits and net returns of 4.87% this year, emphasizing sustainable construction and renewable energy investments.
Strong Environmental Impact and Returns
ASN Groenprojectenfonds has demonstrated significant environmental impact through its investment portfolio. The fund’s investments have shown measurable results in emissions reduction, with a €10,000 investment avoiding 4402 kg of CO2 emissions [1]. The fund has achieved a notable net return of 4.87% in the current year through November 2024 [1], positioning itself as an attractive option for environmentally conscious investors.
Diverse Green Project Portfolio
The fund focuses on financing sustainable construction, renewable energy projects, and decentralized energy solutions [1]. These projects are officially recognized by the Dutch government, providing investors with potential tax advantages [1]. The fund maintains a balanced portfolio with an average loan duration of approximately five years [1], offering stability while supporting long-term environmental initiatives.
Part of a Growing Green Investment Trend
ASN Bank’s green investment initiative aligns with the broader global trend toward sustainable finance. This movement is evidenced by the remarkable growth in clean energy investment, which reached $1.9 trillion in 2023, surpassing fossil fuel investments of $1.1 trillion [5]. The fund’s approach reflects the growing institutional investor appetite for renewable energy projects [5], particularly as global markets continue to prioritize sustainable development.
Measurable Biodiversity Impact
Beyond carbon reduction, the fund also contributes to biodiversity preservation. A €10,000 investment helps protect 739 square meters of biodiversity [1]. This dual focus on emissions reduction and biodiversity protection demonstrates ASN Bank’s comprehensive approach to environmental stewardship, aligned with current global sustainability standards and practices [4].
