NIB provides NOK 500 million sustainability-linked loan to Posten Bring

• NIB has signed a NOK 500 million (approx. EUR 46.9 million) sustainability-linked loan with Posten Bring AS.
• The loan is linked to targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving workplace safety.
• The financing supports Posten Bring’s transition towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040.

The Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) has signed an eight-year sustainability-linked loan (SLL) with Posten Bring AS. The financing will support the Group’s climate transition.

The loan is linked to three key performance indicators. Posten Bring aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 85% and Scope 3 emissions by 30% by 2030, compared with a 2022 baseline. These targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative in 2024. The third target concerns workplace safety and is measured as the number of work-related injuries per million hours worked.

To meet the targets, Posten Bring plans to electrify its vehicle fleet, expand charging infrastructure, improve the energy efficiency of its terminals and buildings, shift freight from road to rail where possible, and increase its use of fossil-free transport solutions.

“Transport and logistics are essential to the Nordic economy, but their emissions must fall. By linking our financing to ambitious, science-based climate targets and workplace safety, we support Posten Bring in turning its transition plans into measurable results,” says André Küüsvek, President and CEO of NIB.

“We are very pleased to strengthen our relationship with NIB through this sustainability-linked loan. It combines attractive long-term financing with clear incentives to deliver on our sustainability ambitions,” says Ulf Aass, Group Treasurer, Posten Bring AS.

Posten Bring AS is one of the largest postal and logistics companies in the Nordic region. Wholly owned by the Norwegian state, the Group operates through the Posten and Bring brands and provides postal, parcel, freight, warehousing and logistics services across the Nordic region. Logistics activities account for approximately 81% of Group revenues.
