With the launch of a tailor-made sustainability strategy for the public sector, ABN AMRO wants to do her part.

    Before the end of 2020, ABN AMRO Public Sector Clients wants to achieve an energy reduction of 15% in the real estate of her customers.

Connecting government, investors and entrepreneurs through innovative Social Impact Bonds is the last goal. At the end of 2020 they want to have realized 15 of these sustainable bonds, so to be of help in solving social issues.
