Sustainability rating
BNG Bank received a C+ Prime rating by ISS-oekom, one of the world's leading rating agencies on sustainable investments. BNG Bank therefore ranks among the sustainability leaders in the industry, says ISS-oekom.
According to ISS-oekom, BNG Bank's strengths are the bank's lending to companies and projects with high social benefits in a country – the Netherlands – with good environmental and social minimum standards. BNG Bank is also praised for its green loan programmes for public sector and commercial customers and the social policy towards employees. BNG Bank's weakness is, according to ISS-oekom, the lack of strict and comprehensive environmental and social guidelines for the credit rating process and for the company's own investment portfolio.
