ESG, Green, Social & Sustainable Finance
IPFA is a long-standing leader in studying, advising and coordinating Green, Social, Sustainability and ESG loans and bonds, alongside our work in Project and Export Financing in sustainable sectorsfor our clients.
IPFA has been involved in the Sustainable Financing market since its inception, and from the start of 2018 we have contributed in underwriting 12 Green, Social and Sustainability bond issues in each of the US, European and Asian markets.
Green and Sustainability Linked Loans are a fast-developing sustainable financing instrument in the corporate finance market. We have been working with and advising on a number of deals for clients who are committed to sustainability. These loans allow borrowers to achieve lower margins if they achieve sustainability performance targets, such as a third party ESG score, or ratios reported in their annual accounts. Conversely if the targets are missed there may be a margin increase, and there will be some costs associated with reporting on their performance. Sustainability linked loans will be attractive to a wider variety of investors, as there is an increasing focus on the attractiveness of sustainable linked loans.

In addition to renewables, many other project-financed infrastructure assets can be considered sustainable, such as hospitals, smart meters, and public transport, together with desalination and waste water schemes.
We also provide Export Credit Agency supported loans to sustainable projects, often in developing countries, including working with local governments to improve the public infrastructure and provide valuable services to the community.
