OUE REIT executes first interest rate swap with carbon credits

The REIT will use the carbon credits received to offset residual emissions.

OUE REIT has executed its first interest rate swap with OCBC, which included high-integrity voluntary carbon credits sourced by OCBC’s Emissions Trading Desk.

The $75m structured derivative transaction enables OUE REIT to hedge against interest rate risk.

Meanwhile, the VCC will support a carbon reduction nature-based project in Southeast Asia, certified by the Verified Carbon Standard Programme.

The interest rate swap with the VCC feature demonstrates OUE REIT’s ongoing efforts to reduce GHG emissions.

OUE REIT aims to achieve a 40% reduction in absolute GHG emissions for its commercial properties by 2030, using FY 2023 as the base year.

The REIT will use the carbon credits received in this transaction to offset its residual emissions.

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.
