Sustainable investments supported by public subsidies

To finance environmental and economic sustainability investments, we also offer – as an alternative or supplementary means of financing – public subsidies in the form of programme loans or global loans from Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank and state development banks. Commerzbank is one of the largest partners of EIB (European Investment Bank) and KfW – Germany’s largest development bank.

Eligible projects include:

  • sustainable investments in fixed assets (buildings, machinery/equipment);
  • energy and resource efficiency (water consumption), climate and environmental protection (plastic reduction), renewable energy;
  • emission avoidance/reduction (CO2, dust, noise);
  • cross-sectional technologies, waste heat usage.

Your benefits

  • Linking environmental projects and services with sustainable financing underlines the sustainability commitment to customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

  • Non-repayable grants (“money for free”) are available to some extent.
