Jordan Kuwait Bank (JKB) has launched its Sustainable Finance Framework, aimed at driving Jordan’s economic transition towards a green economy, fostering the growth of the green finance capital market, and promoting financing for sustainable and environmentally friendly projects. This initiative contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, creating financing opportunities for new projects and businesses, and advancing the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The framework aligns with the Green Bond Principles issued by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), which set best practices for the issuance of green bonds, particularly concerning transparency and disclosure.

JKB’s Sustainable Finance Framework has been audited by the global rating agency “Sustainalytics,” which confirmed its alignment with the principles set by the ICMA.
