CDL secures $300m sustainability-linked loan from DBS

The facility will support nature-based urban development solutions.

City Developments Limited has secured a $300m multi-currency sustainability-linked loan from DBS Bank to support nature-based urban development solutions.

The facility will be used for general corporate funding and working capital purposes, including asset redevelopment and sustainability initiatives.

The loan includes sustainability performance targets covering urban farming, biodiversity conservation, circularity solutions, and water efficiency.

These targets include scaling urban farming initiatives, establishing or expanding microforests with mainly native species, enhancing stakeholder engagement on climate and nature, adopting circular materials in CDL’s developments, and improving water efficiency.

The latest facility marks the second sustainability-linked loan partnership between CDL and DBS, following their TNFD targets-aligned sustainability-linked loan in 2024.

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.
