Sustainability Bonds issued by CDC - Impacts

Caisse des Dépôts has been issuing green and sustainability bonds since 2017. Unlike conventional bonds, which finance all an issuer’s activities and debt, these bonds finance investments that specifically have environmental and/or social impacts. In 2024, six bonds were oustanding, issued in September 2020, May 2021, October 2022, May 2023, October 2023 and April 2024 (with maturities of 5 or 7 years).

To issue a green, social or sustainability bond, Caisse des Dépôts applies the Green Bond Principles (GBP) and the Social Bond Principles (SBP), leading initiatives in place of which Caisse des Dépôts is a member issuer, which set out best practices to respect.

Caisse des Dépôts applies principles to these issues, which are detailed in a framework (latest version dated 03/07/2025, published on the CDC portal). These principles include reporting to investors, ensuring transparency on the financial and extra-financial monitoring (impact) of the projects to which the bonds are backed.

On a yearly basis, Caisse des Dépôts publishes a complete annual report dedicated to the allocated bonds, which covers :

• The allocated proceeds to the eligible Assets – Allocation report
• The environmental and social impacts of the projects financed - Impact report
