The green and social ambitions of Denmark

For years, Danish companies have played a leading role globally in the transition to renewable energy. The Danish government strives to maintain our position as a frontrunner nation through numerous new initiatives. Meanwhile, the Government also has other ambitious goals, for example, an upgrading of the healthcare sector.

Denmark's ambitious green vision

Nearly four decades of ambitious energy policies have positioned Denmark as a leader in the renewable energy sector. The national objective is to reduce CO2 emissions by 70 per cent by 2030 and to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. To realise this vision, Denmark has robust green initiatives across all levels of the public sector. Consequently, we anticipate that KommuneKredit will finance a significant part of the ongoing green transformation. Currently, several major investment projects are linked to the green energy transition, constituting a substantial infrastructure investment projected to continue over the next decade. KommuneKredit also finance numerous other projects related to the green transition. See examples in the list.

Enhancing Denmark's healthcare infrastructure

A modernised, efficient and updated healthcare sector, pioneering new medical practices, remains a significant investment priority in Denmark. The commitment to equal access to public healthcare services has intensified, with a growing emphasis on preventive measures and rehabilitation. This underscores an elevated focus on healthcare delivery close to the citizens, emphasising integration across various healthcare disciplines. Investments are targeted at bolstering infrastructure, encompassing healthcare facilities and hospitals, alongside acquiring a diverse range of medical equipment, such as advanced scanners, respirators and ambulances.
