Slide 21

KfW loans are extended to final borrowers via interme-diaries such as commercial banks or local saving banks. Intermediaries apply their regular loan procedure, assume the liability for repayment to KfW and screen against the specific programmes’ eligibility criteria KfW defined. In a 2nd step, the KfW lending department reviews the loan application and compliance with the eligibility criteria of the specific KfW loan programme. All projects approved by KfW’s lending department for eligible loan programmes immediately qualify for KfW Green Bonds w/o further selection or approval process. Process for project evaluation & selection How will the eligible green projects be selected? Project Selection KfW’s environmental & social risk management framework Project Evaluation High level of environmental protection and social regulations applicable by the responsible authorities. No further ESG assessment by KfW. Germany High level of environmental protection and social regulations applicable by the responsible authorities. No further ESG assessment by KfW. EU & High-Income-OECD countries KfW’s lending department assesses possi-ble negative environmental or social impact. KfW’s Competence Centre for Environment and Sustainability reviews projects that are considered relevant. All projects must comply with int’l regula-tions incl. those of EU, World Bank, and the International Labour Organisation (ILO). All other countries Green Bonds - Made by KfW / August 2020


Slide 22

On a monthly basis, amounts matching requests for disbursements under KfW’s programmes “Renewable Energies – Standard” and „Energy-efficient Construction“ are allocated to an internal register starting with the beginning of the calendar year. Upon issuance of “Green Bonds – Made by KfW”, an amount equal to the net proceeds in euros of such transactions is allocated to this internal register in their order of issuance. For any “Green Bonds – Made by KfW”, KfW expects full allocation by end of the year of issuance. “Green Bonds – Made by KfW” can be increased (tapped). In terms of management of proceeds and reporting a tap is treated like a new issuance. The volume-weighted average maturity of the cumulated green bonds issued in one year may not exceed the average duration of the cumulated loan commitments for eligible green projects of the preceding year. How will the proceeds of KfW Green Bonds be managed? Management of proceeds Transparent tracking Separate euro register for each calendar year, first-in -> first-out Amount equal to net proceeds used for disbursements of eligible green projects Green bond register Green bonds in several currencies and sizes Net proceeds from issuance Loans for renewable energy & energy efficiency Green Bonds - Made by KfW / August 2020

Allocation Report Annual report until full allocation of the net proceeds. Shows allocated and unallocated proceeds, if applicable. Shows breakdown by eligible category and country of the cumulated requests for disbursement of one year. This non-dynamic portfolio is linked to the cumulated net proceeds of all green bonds issued in the same calendar year, therefore, all fully allocated “Green Bonds – Made by KfW” issued in one calendar year show the same breakdown by category/country. Prepared on a portfolio basis and shows aggregated data. Impact Report One-off report once the relevant loan programmes have been evaluated for an entire calendar year. Shows the estimated social and environmental ex-ante impact in accordance with the Harmonized Framework for Impact Reporting. Core indicators for Renewable Energy: GHG emissions reduced/avoided, renewable energy generation, capacity of renewable energy added Core indicators for Energy Efficiency: GHG emissions reduced/avoided, energy savings Prepared on a portfolio basis and shows aggregated data for each calendar year as well as the key underlying methodology and assumptions to the estimations. The non-dynamic portfolio is linked to the cumulated net proceeds of all green bonds issued in the same calendar year, therefore, all “Green Bonds – Made by KfW” issued in one calendar year show the same impact per unit financed. Reporting How does KfW report on allocation and impact of Green Bonds? KfW aims to create transparency and trust in the effectiveness of its “Green Bonds – Made by KfW” with a regular reporting. Two separate reports provide information about the allocation and impact. Find out more and sign up for our newsletter service at www.kfw.de/green-bonds Green Bonds - Made by KfW / August 2020
