Hemsö and EIB sign new loan agreement of EUR 200 million

The financing covers the construction of, among other things, four municipal elementary schools located in Berlin, Helsinki, and Ljungskile, as well as the Borlänge police station, the municipal Sätra ice rink in Stockholm and a health center in Malmö. Some of the tenants include the City of Stockholm, the City of Helsinki, and the Swedish Police Authority.

All projects have a strong focus on sustainability. The buildings consistently demonstrate very high energy performance and, on average, exceed the national standard for new construction by 40 percent. This is fully aligned with both the EIB’s and Hemsö’s ambitions to promote green investments while at the same time contributing to stronger social infrastructure in Europe. The Borlänge police station is also the first police station ever to be financed by the EIB, underscoring the prioritization of investments in Europe’s safety and security.

“We are pleased to expand our cooperation with the European Investment Bank and, on this occasion, include three European countries. The loan diversifies Hemsö’s financing and enables continued investments in sustainable social infrastructure, in line with the focus of both Hemsö and the EIB,” says Nils Styf, CEO of Hemsö.

“Investing in energy-efficient public buildings is one of the most effective ways to cut emissions while strengthening essential services. This operation supports climate action, social infrastructure and Europe’s security needs, while ensuring that communities have access to modern schools, healthcare facilities and safe public services,” says Pilar Solano, Director and Head of the Corporates Department at the European Investment Bank.

This is Hemsö’s and EIB’s third loan agreement. Previous financing has been used for the construction of energy-efficient nursing homes and schools.
