Sustainable Finance

Sustainable finance plays an important role for BayWa because the Group makes use of a variety of sustainable financing instruments. After issuing a €500 million green bond in 2019, BayWa took out a €1.7 billion ESG-linked syndicated loan and placed a €350 million ESG-linked bonded loan in the financial year 2021.

The terms of both the ESG-linked syndicated loan and the ESG-linked bonded loan are tied to the Group’s sustainability performance. As a result, sustainable and green financial products now account for more than 50% of BayWa’s borrowing portfolio. The significance of sustainability as our strategic guiding principle is thus reflected in the company’s financing.
