Sustainable Finance

We want to inspire all organisations to invest in a bright and healthy future by embedding ESG risks and opportunities into our product and service offering and associated due diligence processes. Moreover, we can help you integrate your sustainability strategy and sustainability goals into your financing.

Our Sustainable Finance team can advise you on the most appropriate solution for both syndicated loan and bond transactions. The combination of our expertise in sustainable financing and our hands-on and pragmatic approach ensures a professional and efficient process that minimises risks.

We provide two main options for embedding sustainability into your financing instruments.

1. A sustainability-linked loan or bond, where your company-specific sustainability targets (social or environmental) are incorporated into the financing agreement. We can help you select KPIs and targets in line with market standards and best practices, or assist you in drafting a sustainability-linked financing framework.
2. A green or social syndicated loan or bond (where the proceeds are to be used exclusively for (re)financing assets or projects with clear environmental and/or social benefits) or a sustainability loan or bond (a debt financing where the funds can be dedicated to a mix of green and/or social projects). As a pioneering company in this field, we can advise you on which assets or projects to select, and support you in drafting a green, social or sustainable financing framework.

We adhere to the Corporate Sustainability Strategy and the Sustainability Rules and Policies of KBC Group. More information can be found here.
