Sustainable Finance

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations have become decisive in many investment decisions. 

Sustainable lending:

When searching for external financing, banks will challenge the sustainability of companies as well as what and how it will be financed. Deloitte Legal advises borrowers and lenders with the setup of sustainable lending arrangements (including green, sustainability-linked and social loans).

Sustainable bonds:

Environmentally sustainable bonds are one of the main instruments for financing investments related to green technologies, energy efficiency and resource efficiency as well as sustainable transport infrastructure and research infrastructure. Deloitte Legal assists clients with the issuance of those sustainable bonds (including green, sustainability-linked and social bonds). 

Challenges we see our clients facing:

  • Integrating sustainable practices into lending and investment activities
  • Meeting sustainability standards and regulatory requirements
  • Leveraging opportunities in sustainable finance

 

 

How we can help:

  • Providing professional legal advice on sustainable finance, from structuring green loans to managing sustainable investment portfolios.
  • Advising clients on complying with sustainability regulations and standards, ensuring their practices are aligned with market expectations.
  • Supporting end-to-end sustainability projects through our integrated service offering within Deloitte.

 

Our team, with its deep-rooted relationships with financial institutions and corporates, remains the privileged legal partner for sustainable finance initiatives in Belgium, making sure that our clients are well-positioned in the evolving market.
