Wilmar secures US$100m ESG-linked loan from Maybank

Maybank will lower the interest rates in tiers as Wilmar meets ESG goals.

Wilmar International Limited (Wilmar) has obtained a three-year, US$100m sustainability-linked loan from Maybank.

Under the facility’s terms, Maybank will lower the interest rate in tiers when Wilmar meets pre-determined Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics.

“These targets include Wilmar’s internal key performance indicators as well as external benchmarking standards, one of which is continued inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) World Index,” Maybank said.

“Based on meeting long-term ESG criteria, the DJSI World Index represents the top 10% of the largest 2,500 companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index,” Maybank added.

Wilmar remains the sole Singapore-incorporated company in the DJSI World Index's Food Products category, listed continuously since November 2021.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
