FINANCE FOR IMPACT to advise EIB on sustainability-linked loans

August 12, 2024

FINANCE FOR IMPACT has been mandated to help EIB develop a pipeline of sustainability-linked loans (SLL). SLL is an innovative, promising loan instrument for EIB as it links a borrower’s performance to sustainability issues. Therefore, this instrument has the potential to align well with EU policy objectives (e.g., Green Deal, EU Taxonomy, etc.).

When assessing benefits for EIB to develop SLLs, we will review opportunities to align to SLL Frameworks, e.g. the Sustainability‐Linked Bond Principles (SLBP) as administered and published by the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA) in June 2022, and the Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles (SLLP) as administered and published by the Loan Market Association (LMA) in March 2023.

FINANCE FOR IMPACT has a strong record of advising banks and corporations on assessing and disclosing climate-related risks and opportunities. The firm advises clients on accelerating decarbonization investments, scaling innovative green/climate technologies, managing climate risks, and measuring progress on climate commitments. Our consultants are well-versed in climate technology and have advised decision-makers to deploy and scale innovation to achieve net zero goals.
