Toilet paper, kitchen rolls, tissues - these are not the only products from Drenik ND that are indispensable in many European households. And the Serbian company still has a lot planned. This is exactly what we are now supporting. The focus is on setting up renewable energy systems and also more independence from gas. With the installation of a rooftop PV system, 97% of the annual electricity requirement is to be generated in-house in the future. ?? ? ?? Clemens Stadler was recently on site in Belgrade and we signed shortly thereafter a bilateral credit line of 25 million euros with Drenik. With a term of up to 10 years, this will be used for production investments, renewable energy and environmental measures such as energy efficiency and emission reduction. Thanks to our deal team who made this cooperation possible ??: Josef Robert Straninger, Kirstin Hüttenrauch, Zarko Kukrkic, Martin Edthofer, Doris Supanz, Gerda Brazda, Aldina Sorlija, Florian Meister, Susanne Boesch, Kristin Duchateau and Sophie-Marie Hofer! #energy #climatefinance #sustainability

We are happy to share exciting news! ?? We invested, on behalf of the Austrian Ministry of Finance, a total amount of USD 5.8 million in Evolution III, a climate fund in Africa with the aim of avoiding and reducing C02 emissions. Evolution III is a Mauritius-based sustainable climate fund focusing on renewable energy infrastructure, energy efficiency and other climate-relevant sectors in Sub-Saharan Africa and selected North African countries. Managed by Inspired Evolution, a fund manager with extensive experience in the region, the company has been a pioneer in climate finance since launching its first fund in 2008. ?? The fund plans to allocate around 60% of its investments to clean energy infrastructure projects, including grid-connected and off-grid solutions, 30% to energy and resource efficiency companies and 10% to climate tech innovations like e-mobility and smart grids. We are proud to support Evolution III in driving sustainable development and advancing climate solutions in Africa. ?? Many thanks for their commitment and congratulations to the deal team: Lisa Jagereder-Gschaider, Anna Maria Berger, Birgit Poschmaier-Kamarád, Ivaylo Kassabov, Sophie-Marie Hofer, Sabine Cummings and Florian Meister!

Gender equality is not a buzzword for us, but our conviction and part of our daily work. We want to strengthen women's participation in economic life and promote gender equality. This goal is embedded in our current strategy, to which we are committed. In this way, we also contribute to SDG 5 'Gender Equality'. ???? Equality between women and men is an essential cornerstone for sustainable development and poverty reduction. Nevertheless, women around the world are still fundamentally restricted in many areas – most notably, for example, in their participation in economic life and economic opportunities. As part of our financing, we want to strengthen women and reduce inequalities in a targeted manner, using the catalogue of 2X Criteria as guidance. A good recent example showcasing our effort is the Global Gender-Smart Fund (GGSF): Initially founded in 2009 as Microfinance Enhancement Facility (MEF), the fund was transformed into the GGSF on 1 January 2024. The Fund is now introducing a new gender-focused strategy. This way, it contributes to closing the financing gap for women entrepreneurs in developing countries. In addition, a technical assistance facility has been set up to support partner financial institutions in the development and implementation of specific gender equality action plans.

Women's power in action: Together with Banco Pichincha, we are facilitating a USD 20 million credit line for micro-enterprises in Ecuador founded and run exclusively by women. In this way, we contribute to our strategic goals of promoting micro, small and medium-sized enterprises as well as gender equality and financial inclusion. Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of Ecuador's economy and play a central role in job creation and income generation. However, limited access to financing often prevents these companies from growing further. The current credit line aims to counteract this. Banco Pichincha is the largest Ecuadorian commercial bank and specializes in retail and microfinance. It has been one of our partners since 2019, when we provided a first credit line of USD 20 million for women-owned micro enterprises. Thanks to our colleagues for their commitment and making this project possible: Miguel Inchaurrondo Nehm, Maria Berger, CFA, Barbara Linder, Caroline Gützer, Isabell Reinold, Gerda Brazda, Sophie-Marie Hofer and Florian Meister #gender #microfinance #ecuador
