Sustainable Finance

Sustainable Finance

Sustainable finance is a crucial component of the green transition.

Sustainable finance means investing and debt financing, using public or private capital, that takes environmental and social considerations into account. It is the financial market’s response to the emissions reduction targets set in global climate agreements, which require massive, long-term investments in sustainable initiatives. The demand has translated into major changes in legislation, most notably the EU’s sustainable finance package consisting of the Taxonomy Regulation, the Disclosure Regulation and the Low Carbon Benchmark Regulation, which apply automatically to all Member States.

Be it green bonds, ESG-linked lending or other instruments, our team supports you in moving towards sustainability. You can be confident that your project meets the latest sustainability standards.

We advised Gasum Oy in a long-term financing arrangement of a total of EUR 565 million with its current lenders. The arrangement includes term loans and revolving credit facilities. It introduced certain sustainability targets, as the margin of the sustainability-linked revolving loan facility is tied to Gasum’s own sustainability goals, which are related to volumes of renewable gas, production of sustainable biogas, and safety. In addition, a part of the term loans is utilised as a green loan to finance Gasum’s strategic investments into increased biogas production both by expanding its production at the existing plants and by constructing new large-scale plants.
