MUFG Green Bond Reporting (Issue Date 18-Dec-18)

Allocation of funds (as of the end of March 2020)

The aggregate amount of loans outstanding as of March 31, 2020 to Eligible Green Projects that were funded by the net proceeds from the sale of the MUFG Green Bonds issued in December 2018, was US$173 million (for a total of 5 projects). By type of electricity generation project, solar photovoltaic power and wind power (onshore) accounted for 33% and 67%, respectively. In terms of geographical distribution, Australia represented the largest portion, followed by Chile and Mexico. (See the charts below for details for your reference.) The foregoing amounts are U.S. dollar equivalent amounts calculated based on the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and other currencies and as of March 31, 2020.

Environmental Impacts (As of the end of March 2020)

The annual energy generation from Eligible Green Projects to which proceeds from the MUFG Green Bonds issued in December 2018 is 2,883 million kWh per year with avoided annual CO2 emissions of 1.45 million tons. MUFG Bank's estimated proportion of the CO2 avoidance is 0.24 million tons, which can be obtained as an aggregate amount of multiplying MUFG bank's share of financing for each eligible green project by CO2 emissions avoided of the project. The annual energy production is calculated based on the below formula with the average capacity factor published by the International Renewable Energy Agency.

 

Annual energy generation (kWh) = capacity of energy generation (kW) × Hours of operation × Average capacity factor (%)

 

The estimated CO2 avoidance is calculated based on the average emission factor published by the International Finance Corporation as below.

 

CO2 emission reductions= Annual energy production (kWh) × Average emission factor (gCO2 / kWh)

Disclosure Policy (conducted in June 2019)

MUFG has received a report on the allocation of amounts equivalent to the net proceeds from the sale of its Green Bond issued in December 2018 from Sustainalytics in the Netherlands, and the CFO of MUFG has provided management assertions with respect to such allocation.

Wind Power Generation Project in Chile

MUFG Bank arranged a project finance of up to USD435 million for a wind power generation project in Chile. This project is developed by Aela Energia.
Construction of the wind farms was completed in early 2019. The two wind projects will have a total generation capacity of 299 MW and are expected to provide power to 468,000 households a year.
