Sustainability Linked Loans are designed to incentivise borrowers, like Downer, to deliver on commitments to sustainability and to support sustainable economic activity and growth.
Our new facility is underpinned by KPIs linked to Downer’s greenhouse gas emissions reductions as well as social sustainability metrics relating to cultural awareness and mental health and wellbeing training for our people. If these KPIs are satisfied, Downer’s borrowing costs will be reduced.
These sustainability KPIs are unique to Downer and reflect our continued commitment to strong sustainability performance, including meeting our long term GHG emissions reduction targets to be net zero by 2050 and investment in our people.
“The sustainability features of the new facility are a welcome validation of Downer’s ongoing commitment to a market-leading sustainability strategy,” said Ricky Bridge, Group General Manager Sustainability, Reporting and Data Analytics. “Having the loan facility outcomes linked to the development of our workforce and our decarbonisation commitments is an important step for Downer.”
