Sustainable Finance

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).
