    Our sustainable finance commitments

    As a bank, we have a specific role and responsibility to play in the transition to a more sustainable economy and society.

    Although we finance many sustainable activities, we finance even more unsustainable activities, as around 80% of the energy used in the world today is still based on fossil fuels.

    ING France is committed to supporting its customers in their transition to a greener, more responsible economy, with a full range of tailored financial products and services.

    We have solid experience in sustainable finance and were the first bank in France to set up a Sustainability-Improvement Loan with EDF. We are introducing variable-rate loan products indexed to companies' sustainable development performance. We are also continuing to develop financing solutions in line with the European environmental taxonomy.:

    ING Group is now a banking benchmark in terms of sustainability, in particular through our Terra approach.

    This science-based approach aims to achieve carbon neutrality in the projects we finance, in particular by gearing the most carbon-intensive elements of our portfolio towards the goal of net zero by 2050, and to study the impact of climate change on projects already financed, assessing the risks and taking steps to mitigate them.

    We are therefore committed to favouring the financing of companies with a low environmental footprint and to reducing our support for sectors with a high carbon footprint.

    For example, we have reduced funding for coal-fired power stations to almost zero by 2025, we are no longer providing dedicated funding for new oil and gas fields and we have accelerated the reduction of our upstream oil and gas funding to zero by 2040. Our goal is to triple our financing of renewable energy production to €7.5 billion a year by 2025, from €2.5 billion in 2022, in line with the agreements reached at COP28 and the latest scenarios from the International Energy Association (IEA).

    Why place your trust in us?

    Our international network enables us to support our customers beyond France's borders. In 2023, 57% of the projects we financed were international. Our sector-based approach (energy, transport, healthcare, etc.) enables us to build lasting relationships with our customers, based on mutual value creation. We have solid experience in sustainable finance and are committed to financing the development of business models in line with the Paris Agreement.
