Green Borrowing Programme
The proceeds of the Green Borrowing Programme are used to finance existing and future renewable generation assets
that meet the Green Bond Principles and the Climate Bonds Standard (Green Assets). All of Contact’s geothermal
assets (excluding Ohaaki) qualify to be included as eligible Green Assets
Through certification, the Green Borrowing Programme means Contact’s funding portfolio reflects the low carbon
nature of the company’s renewable generation assets and aligns with our focus on decarbonisation
The new 2019 bond will be a certified Green Bond
The 2019 bond will be the first new bond issue under Contact’s Green Borrowing Programme and the first new Green
Bond issue by a New Zealand corporate
The Green Borrowing Programme has been independently verified by EY. As at 30 June 2018, the emissions intensity
(of the Green Assets) was 35gCO
2
/kWh, well below the 100gCO
2
/kWh required under the standard, and the Green
Ratio (Eligible Green Assets / Green Debt Instruments) was 1.08 times
Further information about the Green Borrowing Programme and the Green Borrowing Programme Framework is
available on the Issuer's website:www.contact.co.nz/aboutus/sustainability/financial-sustainability
Note that lack of compliance with the Green Borrowing Programme Framework or the CBI standards is not an event
of default in relation to the bonds
In August 2017, Contact obtained green certification from the Climate Bonds Initiative for all debt in
the funding portfolio –the “Green Borrowing Programme”
