Sustainable Finance Framework
Newbridge was delighted to have advised Essex-based housing association CHP with the creation of its Sustainable Finance Framework.
Benefits to the client
The framework represents an important tool for CHP in supporting it to achieve ambitious environmental and social targets. Future financing will play a key role in meeting these targets and the framework facilitates the formal connection to debt being linked to ESG.
It received external accreditation from Sustainalytics, which gives lenders as well as investors confidence that the framework aligns with industry standards.
Newbridge role
Newbridge has supported a number of clients in establishing their frameworks, a prerequisite to labelling a listed debt instrument as green, social or sustainable. It also can be used for Private Placements as well as Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facilities.
