To this end, we are actively contributing today with various actions and initiatives.
"Sustainable tomorrow" is not just a term for NBG. Every day we work responsibly to address the impact of climate change and support the transition to an economy that makes it happen.
We are leaders in financing sustainable energy and green economy.
In October 2020, we issued the first green senior bond of EUR 500 million, from a Greek bank, aiming to allocate all the funds raised to finance green economy projects.
Sustainable Development Policy.
We apply standards and environmentally responsible practices and we have signed the UNEP FI Principles of Responsible Banking (PRB).
Our goal as the “Energy Bank” is to achieve a neutral carbon footprint and at the same time protect biodiversity and the ecosystem's health. We are well prepared to support the National Energy & Climate Plan and we take up initiatives and shape the developments in the renewable energy sector. We source 97.5% of our energy from renewable sources, we are renewing our car fleet with electric cars, we are upgrading the energy efficiency of our buildings and we are planning other actions as well, such as minimizing paper consumption.

We forge alliances and take initiatives for a more sustainable tomorrow.
Every day, we make every possible effort to create a better tomorrow. Having fully understood that climate change is one of the most important challenges of our era, we take initiatives to protect the environment and participate in programs and actions in collaboration with important bodies and institutions which contribute to regeneration and prevention.
