Clear concepts for climate and environment
When it comes to climate and environmental protection, new ideas are needed – and clear signals. The savings banks in Germany have committed themselves to climate and environmentally friendly business practices. And they support companies and people in their host regions with financing and advisory solutions to drive forward the climate-friendly transformation of the economy.
Enabling transformation, strengthening SMEs
As the backbone of the German economy, small and medium-sized enterprises play a key role in sustainable and socially just transformation.
Savings banks increasingly focussing on green electricity
Savings banks are investing in photovoltaic systems and solar infrastructure, becoming green electricity producers themselves.
Target-driven sustainability management
The Savings Banks Finance Group remains committed to sustainability and is implementing important tools in its management processes.
Incentives for targeted investments in sustainability
Green bonds, ESG-linked loans or transformation financing – in partnership with the Landesbanken, savings banks offer a wide range of incentives and investment options for private investors and businesses.
Energy transition and citizen participation
Investing in energy transition and reaping the returns
Savings banks make it possible: public participation in wind turbines generates attractive returns and increases acceptance of renewable energies.
Education and climate protection
Education embraces the challenge of climate change
The Bayerische Sparkassenstiftung promotes educational work on climate and sustainability. Using the climate kit “Klimakoffer”, schoolchildren gain a better understanding of the scientific aspects of climate change.
