Capital markets - sustainability - loans.
A provision in a loan agreement relating to the use of the proceeds of the borrowing, especially in relation to green and sustainable projects.
- ESG factors are influencing borrowing organisations of all sectors and sizes
- "Gustavo Brianza, MD of ESG Advisory at NatWest, explained that most banks are waking up to the opportunities: 'Many treasurers may feel they’re not looking to access finance on a scale that brings this up, but most banks are offering sustainable and green loans.
- So that might involve a use-of-proceeds provision, which includes green projects, and private placements can also be accessed, so I don’t see the size of the business or the deal as being a barrier to adopting a sustainable finance strategy.'”
