Projects Financed by the 2018 Green and Sustainability Bond Edito
RÉGION ÎLE-DE-FRANCE PROJECTS FINANCED BY THE 2018 GREEN AND SUSTAINABILITY BOND EDITO Citizens demand effective regional action. Our investors demand transparency on the projects they help finance. We are collectively committed to regional projects being integrated into a green and socially responsible approach, a source of sustainable development for our territories. That is why Région Île-de-France has decided to resort exclusively to green and responsible loans for its financing needs. As such, we are very proud that the Region was rewarded, in September 2018, with the most impressive local public issuer award for its green and responsible bond issues on financial markets ("Most Impressive Local Government Green/SRI Bond Issuer"), at the forum of responsible and sustainable capital markets in Amsterdam. The report, recognized as exemplary by the stakeholders, aims to report on environmentally and socially responsible investment projects that the Region materialises each year. It presents our most emblematic projects, built and led so as to promote balanced and sustainable development for the regional territory: environmental and social management of the project, in Valérie Pécresse, particular contribution to the struggle against global warming. President of Région Île-de-France I am thinking in particular of the construction of the new high schools focused on bioclimatic design and control of energy, water resources, air quality and acoustics and optimized impact construction sites, as testified by Lycée Lucie Aubrac at Courbevoie, which opened in September 2018. I am also thinking of several other great projects, such as the Vaires-Torcy high-level leisure and sports centre, the Olympic equipment that will host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic kayaking and rowing events, and the Grand Equipement Documentaire of Aubervilliers, the future reference cluster and centre of a university campus.
