Sustainable and Green Finance

A growing number of listed companies are opting in to the SIX Swiss Exchange‘s sustainability reporting scheme, and sustainable and green finance is becoming an ever-greater feature of Swiss financing practices, with lenders being willing to factor ESG performance into the pricing discussions.

We provide:

• Advice to borrowers on the requirements and advantages of sustainable financing (i.e. green and sustainable loans and bonds)
• Assistance to borrowers and lenders with the negotiation of sustainability linked credit facility agreements and the definition of criteria (e.g. relating to diversity, reduction of greenhouse gases, evidence of compliance with external standards)
• Supporting borrowers to obtain certifications and ratings by external agencies
