CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 2, 2022 /3BL Media/ - Truist Financial Corporation (NYSE: TFC) today announced the publication of its 2021 Social Bond Impact Report, which details the investments made from the bond proceeds and underscores the company’s commitment to advancing its environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals.

This was the first social bond issued by a regional bank in the U.S.

Truist’s social bond enjoyed broad participation from more than 120 investors, including high-quality ESG-dedicated portfolios, with an order book oversubscribed by 2.7 times. The social bond generated $1.248 billion in net proceeds, empowering the creation of 267 affordable housing developments and 22,000 affordable units across 15 states in the mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Texas.
