Sembcorp gets $1.2b sustainability-linked loan facility

The green loan is pegged to Singapore Overnight Rate Average.

Sembcorp Financial Services Limited secured a $1.2b sustainability-linked loan facility, which is the first and largest Singapore Overnight Rate Average (SORA) based loan for an energy company in Southeast Asia, Sembcorp Industries, bared.

The five-year facility will be used for general corporate purposes and financing or refinancing Sembcorp’s renewable energy and sustainable projects.

It will be subject to margin adjustments linked to pre-agreed Sustainability Performance Targets on Sembcorp’s greenhouse gas emissions intensity and gross installed renewable energy capacity, which complies with the Sembcorp Sustainable Financing Framework.

Sembcorp said the facility is arranged by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, DBS Bank Limited and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited, where each are lead arranger and bookrunner. 

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited is the lead sustainability coordinator and DBS Bank Ltd. and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited are designated as the joint sustainability coordinators.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
