CDL clinches $338.2m sustainability-linked loan from OCBC

The loan is aligned to a 1.5°C pathway.

The company will use the three-year $338.2m loan for refinancing purposes, amongst others.

City Developments Limited (CDL) secured a $338.2m (£200m) sustainability-linked loan from OCBC, which is aligned to a 1.5°C pathway (OCBC 1.5°C loan).

The company will use the three-year sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (RCF) for refinancing, general corporate funding and working capital purposes.

CDL is the first corporation to obtain the OCBC 1.5°C loan, which has interest rate incentives pegged to annual decarbonisation performance targets.

Under the OCBC 1.5°C loan, corporates will get a reduced interest rate on their loans when they meet or exceed their annual targets.

“The reference pathways, developed by autonomous global organisations, are geared towards achieving a net zero level of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels,” CDL said.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
