Our contribution to the SDGs – IBB Group

At the same time, we are aware that our funding activities may also have unintended negative impacts on individual SDGs. These aspects are not covered in full on this page. However, we are giving careful consideration to potential conflicts of interest and are working to minimise any negative effects as far as possible.

• Loans are granted by the applicant's bank. In exceptional cases, financing may also be provided by IBB alone.
• These loans can be combined with other public support funds (e.g. by KfW-Bankengruppe).
