ABC Impact, DBS, UOB establish US$110m sustainability-linked subscription loan

Proceeds will be used for ABC Impact’s ABC Impact Fund II.

ABC Impact, the impact investing firm backed by Temasek, has partnered with DBS and UOB for a $110m (S$142m) sustainability-linked subscription loan facility.

The facility, jointly established by the two banks, transforms the existing conventional loan facility into an “innovative instrument that links financing to measurable impact targets.”

Proceeds will be used for the ABC Impact Fund II, which held its final close in March 2025. Assets under management (AUM) of the fund currently exceed US$600m (S$712m), double the size of the first fund.

Under the terms of the sustainability-linked loan facility, ABC Impact Fund II’s portfolio companies will be required to achieve sustainability performance targets related to avoided or reduced greenhouse gas emissions, as well as number of beneficiaries reached across key impact sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, education and financial services.

Investors who committed to Fund II include Temasek, Temasek Trust, the Asian Development Bank, Mapletree Investments, SeaTown Holdings, a Southeast Asian sovereign wealth fund and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, according to a press release.

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.
