In the recent months, BNP Paribas has been involved in two important financial transactions in the field of sustainable finance. The first, with Snam, the energy group active in the transport, storage and regasification of methane, who launched a new bond loan called "Climate Action Bond" on 22 September 2018. BNP Paribas was among the joint bookrunner banks of the transaction. The income obligation will be used for the services offered by Snam with particular regard to improving the environmental impact; it will have 6.5 years duration and a size of 500 million euro. Not like a traditional green bond, the Climate action bond has a wider horizon; it allows financing or refinancing both green investments, such as bio methane or energy efficiency, and projects that improve the environmental impact.
