Ethias annonce le succès du pricing des Titres Subordonnés Datés Appelables pour un montant total de 300 millions EUR

Une émission de 300 millions EUR alignée avec le Sustainable Financing Framework d’Ethias 

Cette émission obligataire, éligible comme instruments de capital de catégorie 2, s’inscrit dans le Sustainable Financing Framework d’Ethias, successeur du Green Financing Framework. Elle devrait bénéficier d’une notation attendue de BBB par Fitch Ratings (notation de l’émetteur : A positive outlook). Depuis son premier Green Bond, émis en 2023, Ethias a élargi son cadre de financement durable afin d’y intégrer, en plus des projets environnementaux, des investissements à vocation sociale comme le logement accessible ou l’accès à des services essentiels dans les domaines de la santé, de l’éducation ou de l’inclusion financière. ​ 

Ce choix souligne à nouveau l’engagement sociétal d’Ethias et sa volonté de jouer un rôle actif dans la transition vers une société plus durable et inclusive.
