Valeo has successfully raised €650 million ($728 million) through a green bond issuance maturing on 20 May 2031, offering a 5.125% fixed annual coupon. The proceeds will finance projects aligned with its low-carbon mobility strategy, particularly in vehicle electrification.

“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,” the company stated.

The bonds were issued under Valeo’s Green and Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework, first established in July 2021 and updated most recently in September 2023. The fifth supplement to the base prospectus—dated 3 July 2024—was approved by France’s Financial Markets Authority (AMF) on 7 May 2025, under reference number 25-147.

The issuance was jointly led by BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole CIB, CIC, Helaba, ING, and Mizuho, acting as Joint Active Bookrunners.

This move reinforces Valeo’s long-term climate roadmap. Under its CAP 50 plan, the company aims to reach Net Zero emissions by 2050, spanning both its global operations and supply chain, with full value chain coverage in Europe.

“Valeo will continue to develop its portfolio of technologies that promote low-carbon mobility accessible to the greatest number,” the company noted.

For institutional investors and climate-focused stakeholders, Valeo’s green bond solidifies its positioning as a key player in the electrification shift while offering a stable fixed-income instrument with sustainability credentials.
