CapitaLand Investment secures $4b in green funding in 2022

This was through 18 sustainable financing instruments. 

CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) has secured a total of $4b across 18 sustainable financing in 2022, bringing the total to $10.9b. 

CLI and its listed REITs have so far partnered with 17 financial institutions to secure sustainability-linked loans and bonds, green loans, green bonds, and perpetual securities. 

“CLI integrates sustainability into every stage of the real estate life cycle, from investment to development, operations, and financing,” Vinamra Srivastava, CLI’s Chief Sustainability Officer, said.  

“Our strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance continues to be recognised by prestigious international indices such as GRESB.”

Srivastava was referring to the GRESB Real Estate Assessment’s 5-star rating on CLI and CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust. 

“This allows us to achieve interest rate savings from our sustainability-linked loans and bond, quantifying the value of our ESG impact,” he said.

“The savings are channeled to fund decarbonisation initiatives and innovations, accelerating our transition to a greener future. Leveraging technology to increase efficiency in energy and water can yield tangible financial results and is a key lever in our carbon mitigation hierarchy.”

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.
