The Hungarian Development Bank's Sustainable Financing Framework named as good practice and an examplary business solution
09 January 2026The Hungarian Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSDH) asked the Hungarian Development Bank (MFB) to present its green financing framework so that it could serve as an example for other financial institutions.
As a development bank, MFB aims to be the engine of a sustainable Hungarian economy, which is why it places a high priority on avoiding environmental and social damage. In 2023, the Bank established its Sustainable Financing Framework, which manages MFB Zrt.'s sustainability-related (green and social) and the green and social-focused lending objectives that can be financed from it, which promote climate-adaptive economic transition and/or positive social impact. During the 2025 review of the Framework, two additional categories (road infrastructure projects and waste management infrastructure and technologies) were added to the range of acceptable green categories, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The external expert review (Second Party Opinion) of the Framework was conducted by S&P Global.
