Sustainable finance
EDF is a reference issuer in the sustainable finance market: by the end of 2025, the Group had thus issued the equivalent of nearly €29 billion in green financing since November 2013 to support its strategic development. Green financing (green bonds, bank green loans, green NeuMtN, green NeuCP) are fully integrated to its financing policy.
EDF has updated its Green Financing Framework on 28 April 2025, in line with the best practice in the sustainable finance market, and with its corporate strategy Ambitions 2035.
Each year, EDF published the allocation and impact reporting of the green financing.
