Deutsche Bank Investment Bank’s Post

A few weeks ago, I posted about an innovative Debt4ESG program being implemented by SACE. More recently, I have been posting about and published an article in Bloomberg Law (https://lnkd.in/ejjydCD2) about the use of synthetic risk transfer as a capital mitigation strategy (more to come from me on that soon). Yesterday, Esteban Duarte of Bloomberg Law reported on a very interesting program in the works by the European Investment Bank (EIB) to incentivize green lending vis-a-vis synthetic risk transfer and the resulting capital relief. Take a read of the article to get a glimpse of the confluence of these dynamic topics. #creditrelief #esg #creditlinkednotes #securitization #baseliii #structuredfinance

DBS Bank is honoured to be working with our long-time partner, Keppel Ltd. to accelerate their sustainability agenda. We are one of two banks involved in a landmark deal providing $1 billion of revolving credit facilities to finance various sustainability-related activities. The deal falls under Keppel’s innovative Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework, which the Group launched yesterday. This strategic framework, co-developed through joint environmental, social, and governance (ESG) advisory, isn't just a financial blueprint; it's a roadmap to a greener future. It's meticulously crafted, featuring rigorous Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Sustainability Performance Targets (SPTs) that Keppel is committed to achieving. The framework goes beyond traditional financial metrics, focusing on significant environmental impacts. It aims to slash Keppel’s absolute Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by an ambitious 50% and to expand their renewable energy portfolio to a towering 7GW by the end of 2030, leading a transformation in industry practices towards more environmentally responsible operations. Tan Su Shan, Group Head of Institutional Banking at DBS, emphasises the critical role of the private sector in spearheading global energy transitions. “Engaged businesses like Keppel illustrate the power of sustainability commitment in driving collective action. This commitment by Keppel, backed by clear and transparent targets, streamlines collaboration with investors and banks, paving the way for substantial, long-term impacts through sustainable financing solutions.” This partnership exemplifies how strategic financial planning and a dedication to sustainability can converge to create a lasting, positive impact on our planet.
