Sustainable finance ESG Linked loans
Sustainability-linked loans
Following the success of the sustainability bonds and loans market which is geared towards financing specific projects, banks and borrowers are now showing growing interest in responsible borrowing based on the unspecified use of proceeds (mainly RCF*). These sustainability-linked loans (or ESG-linked loans) incentivise companies to improve their ESG performance by directly linking the financial terms of a loan to predetermined sustainability targets.
*RCF : Revolving Credit Facility
