Sanoma’s Social Bond Report published
Sanoma has published its Social Bond Report for Q3 2024–Q3 2025. Sanoma launched its Social Bond Framework in September 2024 and in connection with the launch the company issued a EUR 150 million social bond.
“We are proud to have been the first company to issue and list a Social Bond on Nasdaq Helsinki last year. This achievement reflects our commitment to integrating sustainability into finance and promoting equal access to education, aligned with UN SDG 4. Education is a fundamental human right and key to achieving sustainable development. As a leading European K12 learning company, Sanoma promotes equal access to education for all students, especially in the ongoing digital transformation”, says Kaisa Uurasmaa, Head of Investor relations and Sustainability.
The Social Bond Report published today summarises the use and allocation of the proceeds of the social bond. According to its Social Bond Framework, the funds Sanoma raises through the issuance of social bonds are used to finance or refinance expenditures aimed at improving access to essential education services and to contribute to the UN SDGs, especially Goal 4 Quality Education. The report also includes an impact report with examples of the social impacts of Sanoma’s learning materials. The proceeds of Sanoma’s EUR 150 million social bond have been fully allocated so no further reporting will follow. The report is attached to this release and also available on Sanoma’s website.
