7R, a developer of high-quality warehouses, has successfully completed the first phase of its green bond issuance. This marks the first step in a €100 million bond program. Initially, the company planned to raise PLN 100 million, but strong interest from institutional investors and select private investors allowed it to increase that amount to PLN 150 million.
– The strong investor interest, which exceeded the planned green bond issuance, demonstrates confidence in 7R’s solid fundamentals, our vision, our management approach, and our ability to achieve our goals. “This is an important step in the company’s development, confirming our commitment to executing our growth strategy while leveraging stable and sustainable sources of financing, ” said Chris Zeuner, Co-CEO of 7R.
The funds raised will be allocated to the construction of facilities with a total area of over 350,000 square meters in 2025. The projects will meet the rigorous environmental standards required to obtain a BREEAM certification of at least "Excellent" and will exceed local Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) standards by at least 10 percent. 7R has experience in implementing such projects, as evidenced by the 7R Green Saver line. Thanks to the funds raised, the company will contribute to the achievement of the EU’s climate protection goals and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The bonds were issued under the 7R Green Finance Framework, which complies with the international ICMA Green Bond Principles and LMA Green Loan Principles, ensuring full transparency and financial accountability. Michael / Ström Dom Maklerski is the exclusive arranger of the issuance under the program. The bonds will be listed on the Catalyst market, further underscoring 7R’s commitment to development in line with the principles of sustainable finance.
