Syndicated Finance

Loans linked to the company’s sustainable development goals

Gazprombank’s Syndicated and International Finance team helps to arrange financing in the form of syndicated loans linked to the company’s sustainable development goals (ESG syndicates).

Services

• Arranging financing for customers in the form of syndicated lending with participation of other (primarily, foreign) banks to raise loans that are either linked to sustainable development goals (Sustainability-Linked Loans) or are to be used for such goals implementation (Green Loans)
• Acting as a Sustainability Coordinator or Sustainability Structuring Agent is such ESG syndicates
• Participation in financing aimed at the customers’ ESG goals implementation as a member of a syndicate together with foreign and Russian banks 

Prerequisites for corporate clients to ESG financing

• The company implements various ESG initiatives
• The company has an approved ESG strategy in place (or has plans to develop such a strategy)
• The company wants to procure financing, the intended purpose of which is not ESG initiatives implementation, but which is linked to the customer’s ESG performance (ESG-linked financing)
• The company has an approved ESG strategy and wants to increase its visibility for key stakeholders in the debt and capital market

Product benefits for clients

• Expansion of the investor base through involvement of ESG investors (primarily, foreign ones)
• Gaining a flexible financing instrument (the finance facility does not necessarily have an intended purpose related to ESG projects)
• Supporting the reputation of a company committed to sustainable development goals
