CDL clinches $338.2m sustainability-linked loan from OCBC

The loan is aligned to a 1.5°C pathway.

The company will use the three-year $338.2m loan for refinancing purposes, amongst others.

City Developments Limited (CDL) secured a $338.2m (£200m) sustainability-linked loan from OCBC, which is aligned to a 1.5°C pathway (OCBC 1.5°C loan).

The company will use the three-year sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (RCF) for refinancing, general corporate funding and working capital purposes.

CDL is the first corporation to obtain the OCBC 1.5°C loan, which has interest rate incentives pegged to annual decarbonisation performance targets.

Under the OCBC 1.5°C loan, corporates will get a reduced interest rate on their loans when they meet or exceed their annual targets.

“The reference pathways, developed by autonomous global organisations, are geared towards achieving a net zero level of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels,” CDL said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
