As a bank for all Hamburg residents, we are actively shaping the transition to greater sustainability. To this end, we offer our customers a wide range of sustainable products and advisory services, are committed to a climate-friendly, resource-efficient, and socially balanced economy and lifestyle in Hamburg, and are constantly working to ensure that our own business activities are fair, regional, and ecologically and socially compatible.
Driven by this motivation, we issued our first social bond in February 2025 and are now taking a further step towards a holistic value chain with the publication of a Green Bond Framework.
In 2024, Haspa achieved Prime Status C+ in the ISS-ESG sustainability rating, placing it among the top performers in the industry. Further information on ESG at Haspa can be found here.

Our Social Bonds
Haspa contributes to the financing of social purposes with its own loan funds and by arranging development loans. As such, funds flow into areas such as education and childcare, basic infrastructure, social affairs and health, as well as the creation of affordable housing.
The social financing activities listed in the Social Bond Framework are an integral part of Haspa’s strategy, making the Social Bond a logical next step towards a holistic value chain. By issuing Social Bonds, Haspa will enable investors to support its strategic ambition of providing financing dedicated to key social challenges in the city of Hamburg and the metropolitan area.

This, as well as the social contribution of the program, is confirmed by the sustainability rating agency ISS-ESG in the Second Party Opinion, which can be downloaded below. Furthermore, Haspa has achieved a C+ prime status in the ISS-ESG agency’s sustainability rating, placing it in the top group in the industry.
