Schaeffler Group Green & Sustainability-Linked Financing
With its Green & Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework, Schaeffler Group has established a universal basis for the issuance of Green Financing Instruments as well as Sustainability-Linked Financing Instruments.
Schaeffler Group is convinced that the use of sustainable financing can help to facilitate the transition to a sustainable climate-neutral economy and serve as a tool to bring additional transparency and commitment to sustainability matters.
Schaeffler Group’s Green & Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework aligns with the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles (2023) of the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA), the Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles (2023) of the Loan Market Association (LMA), as well as the ICMA Green Bond Principles (2021 with June 2022 Appendix I) and the LMA Green Loan Principles (2023).
S&P has independently reviewed and evaluated Schaeffler Group’s Green & Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework and issued a Second Party Opinion on the Green & Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework.
