Belfius Bank acts as both dealer and arranger of the programme. The Information Memorandum related to the programme is available from the bank.

As part of the financing of our activities, we have established a new green financing framework called the 'Green Finance Framework'. Vigéo Eiris was asked to give an independent opinion on the Green Finance Framework and the company's sustainable approach.

We were awarded a “strong” level, which is the highest level of assurance. This certification now allows us to issue Green Bonds and Green Loans as part of our Green Finance Framework.
 

It should be noted that an initial green opinion was granted in 2019 by the company Vigéo, but it covered only a few clearly identified projects.
