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.

Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking recently organized its first international SSA conference, which took place at its headquarters in Paris. 🌍 Amidst a more volatile market environment, discussions focused on important topics such as: - Liquidity 📈 in which panelists determined that liquidity can’t be directly observed and uniquely defined but believe that the main characteristics should result from the supply versus demand and the capacity to execute a trade at a low cost with a limited impact on market prices. Liquidity can also come at a cost. In order to discuss this topic, the speakers created an ‘ecosystem’ including Issuer, Investor and liquidity accelerators representing the infrastructure such as Market Maker, Intermediation and Dealing desk.   - ESG crisis management 🌱 where speakers reacted to market turmoil caused by the undue ESG downgrading of a major green bond issuer, discussed taxonomy alignment claims and demonstration streamlining, and addressed ways of handling the various aspects of a just transition.   Over 150 attendees representing 28 issuers and 56 investors attended the conference, seeing fantastic interactions between issuers, investors, and the various Natixis CIB desks.   🙌 Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of this conference - we look forward to our next edition next year!
