Verbund: Austrian utility company Verbund successfully placed the first ESG (Environmental Social Governance) linked syndicated loan in the amount of Euro 500 mn with 12 banks on 10 December 2018. This loan is the first in the world whose company-related premium on the base rate over the entire term is no longer determined according to the financial rating at the established financial rating agencies but purely according to the sustainability rating provided by a sustainability rating agency. The company-related premium on the base rate is set once a year during the term of the loan and solely on the basis of an external sustainability rating. Sustainalytics, a leading global provider of ESG research and ratings, assessed Verbund and provided the firm with its ESG Risk Rating score, which was used for the syndicated loan. If the sustainability rating of Verbund declines, the cost of the loan rises; if the sustainability rating of Verbund improves, the cost of the loan falls. This means that there is an extensive decoupling here from the established financial rating.
Verbund: weekly performance: 8.41%
