Document Updates
What changed between successive versions of documents.
The 2023 version of Sparkasse KölnBonn's Green Bond Framework updates its sustainability definition and organizational positioning. The sustainability approach is now explicitly framed in terms of ESG factors (Environment, Social, Governance) rather than the previous "intersection and interconnection of social, ecological and economic areas." Additionally, the bank's sustainability ambition has been elevated from aiming to become "one of the most sustainable savings banks and regional banks in Germany" to positioning itself as a "leading savings bank or regional bank in Germany" with a model function across all sustainability facets. The framework also references the German Sparkassen and Giroverbands (DSGV) sustainability map as the structural foundation, providing clearer external alignment and benchmarking.
- added Standards Alignment — Framework now explicitly references the Nachhaltigkeitslandkarte (Sustainability Map) of the Deutscher Sparkassen und Giroverbands (DSGV) as the structural framework for sustainability development.
- modified Sustainability Target — Bank's sustainability ambition escalated from aiming to become 'one of the most sustainable savings banks' to becoming a 'leading savings bank or regional bank in Germany' with model function across all sustainability facets.
