Metsä Group, which Metsä Board is part of, has today published an updated Green Finance Framework. Metsä Group’s previous Green Finance Framework is from 2019. The Framework enables the continued issuance of green debt instruments in line with the latest market practices and further integrates Metsä Group's 2030 strategic sustainability targets into financing.

Metsä Board's financing can be arranged under the Green Finance Framework. The Framework supports financing or refinancing of environmentally sustainable investments that contribute to Metsä Board's key environmental targets in minimizing impact on climate and nature.

Metsä Group’s Green Finance Framework has received an updated independent second party opinion from Sustainalytics, verifying the alignment with Green Loan Principles 2023 and Green Bond Principles 2023 and considering the eligible green assets and expenditures as credible and impactful.

The Green Finance Framework and the second party opinion are attached to this release and also available at https://www.metsagroup.com/metsaboard/investors/financial-information/sustainable-financing/.
