(Alliance News) - Enel Finance International NV - a financial subsidiary of Enel Spa - announced Wednesday that it has launched a multi-tranche "Sustainability-Linked Bond" aimed at institutional investors in the U.S. and international markets for a total amount of USD2 billion.

"We will continue with commitment on our path of long-term value creation and energy transition, through investments in networks, renewable energy and end customers."
