Our latest financial reports
Sustainability is our core business
Sustainability is firmly anchored in our core business. Among other things, we finance energy-efficient housing, healthcare facilities and projects in schools and daycare centers - in short: everything that people need to live. We have been providing loans for numerous renewable energy projects in the wind, solar and bioenergy sectors since 1996 and, with a loan volume of over EUR 14 billion (as of 31 December 2023), we are one of the largest financiers of renewable energies in Germany.
Capital market funding to diversify our refinancing structure
In order to strengthen medium and long-term refinancing funds, we have been issuing securities on the capital market for many years. We primarily issue public and mortgage Pfandbriefe in benchmark or private placement format, as well as unsecured bonds in benchmark format. Our Green Bonds are used to refinance wind and solar projects in Germany. With our Social Bonds we refinance lending business that generates social added value.
The volume of outstanding DKB bonds on the capital market through the issuance of public and mortgage Pfandbriefe as well as senior unsecured bonds amounts to around EUR 7.7 billion (as of 30 June 2024). Of this, the volume of outstanding Green and Social Bonds amounts to around EUR 3.8 billion (as of 30 June 2024).
