Through our first green bond issuance under the new Green Financing Framework, we reaffirm E.ON’s strong commitment to driving the green transformation of Europe’s energy system, supported by an ambitious sustainable funding strategy. As a playmaker of the energy transition, E.ON is investing heavily in a secure, competitive, and sustainable energy future.” Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Santander, and Société Générale acted as active bookrunners for the transaction, supporting the successful placement of the bonds.
