Further information on the InvestEU Sustainability Guarantee

The Sustainability Guarantee Product is one of the six InvestEU portfolio guarantee products, dedicated to supporting the green and sustainable transition of small enterprises and citizens across the EU.

The eligibility criteria have been designed in the spirit of the EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance and hence, this product is expected to contribute to the EU´s target to progressively reduce GHG emissions and transition to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. The Sustainability Guarantee Product also supports accessibility investments.
