Olam secures $204m loan

The loan is linked to the group's sustainable initiatives.

Olam International secured a loan worth $204m (US$150m) to buy sustainable cotton under the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI).

A 2-year tenor was applied to the loan, with Olam Treasury Pte. Ltd. and Olam Global Agri Treasury Pte. Ltd.

"This [loan] supports Olam’s procurement of sustainable cotton via the Better Cotton Initiative whilst combining Olam’s operational ability, leadership position in cotton and sustainability focus with the banks’ objective of supporting more financing linked to sustainable activities,” said N Muthukumar, Group CFO, Olam.

Since its inception in 2009, Olam has been involved with BCI and works with smallholders in farmers in Africa for the sustainable production of cotton.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
