Paris, France – May 2025 — Valeo has successfully raised €650 million through a green bond issuance aimed at accelerating its low-carbon mobility initiatives, particularly in vehicle electrification. The bond, which matures on 20 May 2031, carries a fixed annual coupon of 5.125% and was issued under the company’s Green and Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework.
The proceeds from the bond sale will be directed toward financing technologies that contribute to reducing carbon emissions in transportation. “The net proceeds of the transaction will be used for financing projects and investments linked to the portfolio of technologies that contribute to low-carbon mobility, in particular vehicle electrification,” Valeo confirmed in a statement.
This issuance marks another key milestone in Valeo’s climate strategy, reinforcing its CAP 50 roadmap, which targets achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. The plan covers the company’s global operations and its entire value chain within Europe, aligning with broader EU climate goals.
Originally launched in July 2021 and most recently updated in September 2023, Valeo’s Green and Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework serves as the foundation for the bond issue. The transaction was conducted under the fifth supplement to Valeo’s base prospectus, dated 3 July 2024 and approved by France’s Financial Markets Authority (AMF) on 7 May 2025 (reference number 25-147).
The bond issue was managed by a consortium of leading financial institutions—BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole CIB, CIC, Helaba, ING, and Mizuho—acting as Joint Active Bookrunners.
This financing initiative underscores Valeo’s role in supporting the global shift toward sustainable mobility while offering institutional investors a stable fixed-income product with robust environmental credentials.
“Valeo will continue to develop its portfolio of technologies that promote low-carbon mobility accessible to the greatest number,” the company noted, signaling its commitment to innovation and inclusivity in the transition to cleaner transportation solutions.
