Frasers Property secures $587.9m green financing for Australian business

It is the fourth green financing for its Australian business.

Real estate company, Frasers Property Limited, said its Australian business secured $587.9m (A$600m) five-year sustainability-linked term loan and revolving credit facility (SLL), the latter’s fourth sustainable financing.

Frasers Property Australia’s (FPA) loan is composed of a $294m (A$300m) term loan to refinance a maturing loan and $294m (A$300m) revolving credit facility that will be used for general corporate purposes under the sustainable finance framework.

To incentivise eco-friendly practices, the SLL has a price reduction structure with interest cost savings from second year onwards if FPA maintains a minimum four-star Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark ratings yearly.

Following this, Loo Choo Leong, group chief of financial officer of Frasers Property, disclosed that their goal is to fund the majority of their sustainable asset portfolio with sustainable financing in the next two years.

“We are pleased with our progress thus far, having secured over $8b of green or sustainable financing across the group since our first green loan in September 2018,” Leong said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
