The year 2024 was a record-breaking year in MuniFin’s sustainable finance. We remained on a strong growth path, and sustainable finance made up more than 50% of our new long-term customer financing. We granted green finance to 154 new projects. Once again, the majority of new projects in our portfolio fell under the buildings category.

Our customers were particularly active in seeking financing for their affordable social housing projects. This surge was driven by the clearing of the processing backlog at the Housing Finance and Development Centre of Finland (Ara) and the discontinuation of right-of-occupancy home construction by the end of 2025.

Green finance is offered to selected projects that promote the transition to low-carbon and climate resilient growth. These projects seek to mitigate or adapt to climate change. In this Green Impact Report, we summarise the impact and calculation principles of our green finance projects in the year 2024.

Rami Erkkilä:

“Our customers are dedicated to reducing their climate impacts and piloting innovative solutions. Although the challenging economic situation calls for careful prioritisation, our customers still consider sustainability a key factor in their investment decisions. These investment decisions must be not only environmentally sustainable, but also economically sustainable.”

"Energy efficiency has clearly become a matter of pride for our customers, and for good reason. As we have increased the incentive for green finance, our customers have also been able to capitalise on the benefits of setting high standards for their projects."
