The projects are varied yet share the common factors of contributing to sustainability and having a positive impact on the environment. Special emphasis was placed on supporting the development of solutions that expedite the switch from fossil fuels to power sources with a smaller carbon footprint.
Four projects received an ISK 2 million grant and two projects received ISK 1 million. The Fund received just under 50 applications.
The Sustainability Fund is linked to two of the UN Sustainable Development Goals that we at Landsbankinn are working systematically on: No. 13, on climate action and no. 9, on industry, innovation and infrastructure.
