CapitaLand China Trust secures $150m sustainability-linked loan from UOB

It is the first Singapore-listed REIT to secure this loan from a China portfolio.

CapitaLand China Trust Management Limited announced CapitaLand China Trust (CLCT) obtained its maiden $150m (US$110.26m) sustainability-linked loan from UOB on 30 September.

Under the terms of the sustainability-linked loan, it will incorporate interest rate reductions based on pre-determined sustainability performance targets set out for CLCT's diversified portfolio of properties. These targets include maintaining minimum reductions in carbon emission, as well as energy and water usage. CLCT will use the loan for general working capital and corporate funding requirements, including financing or refinancing of investments.

CEO Tan Tze Wooi said, "As part of the CapitaLand Group, CLCT is committed to embedding sustainability practices in our business strategies and operations across our portfolio. We strive to take proactive steps to ensure responsible and sustainable growth that dovetails with the Chinese government's plan for a greener future. Under CapitaLand's 2030 Sustainability Master Plan, CLCT will continue to look into greening our portfolio and contribute to the environmental well-being of the communities where we operate while delivering long-term economic value to unitholders."

"At UOB, we work proactively with our clients to drive sustainable development, anchored by a common goal to advance together responsibly. From green buildings to sustainable cities, such collective efforts will enable us to create a more positive environmental, social, and economic impact for the region for the long term," added UOB's head of group corporate banking, Leong Yung Chee.

CLCT is Singapore's largest multi-asset China-focused real estate investment trust by market capitalisation and property value.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
