Primaris REIT Publishes Inaugural Green Finance Framework TORONTO–( BUSINESS WIRE )– Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust (“Primaris”) (TSX: PMZ.UN) announced today that it has published its inaugural Green Finance Framework (the “Framework”), under which it may issue green bonds, green loans or other related financial instruments. The framework outlines eight eligible categories for investment: green buildings, energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable water and wastewater management, clean transportation, climate change adaptation, pollution prevention and control, and the circular economy. “As a Board member and Chair of the Compensation, Governance, and Nominating Committee, I’m pleased to support the introduction of our Green Finance Framework,” said Anne Fitzgerald, Trustee. “It’s a practical step that aligns with our broader sustainability strategy and helps ensure we’re investing in projects that support environmental progress in a thoughtful, responsible way.” Rags Davloor, Chief Financial Officer added, “Today marks a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability. With the publication of our Green Finance Framework, we are aligning our environmental goals and targets with business strategy. Proceeds from green financing will support our focus on emissions reduction, building certifications, energy and water management, and tenant sustainability impacts, while creating long-term value for our stakeholders.” The Framework has been reviewed by Moody’s Ratings, which issued a Second Party Opinion confirming the Framework’s alignment to the International Capital Market Association Green Bond Principles (2021) and the Loan Market Association Green Loan Principles (2025). Primaris will report annually on the allocation and impact of financed projects under the Framework on its website, and/or in its corporate reporting. The Framework and Second Party Opinion are available on the ESG section of the Primaris website. Advisor Scotiabank acted as sole sustainability structuring agent on the Framework.
