Pioneer of “green” credit financing
2024, Implenia has been awarded an outstanding 88 points by Sustainalytics, making it a leader in its sector in the areas of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and a pioneer in "green" credit financing. Implenia is the first industrial company in Switzerland to have a syndicated loan that is partly linked to its Sustainalytics rating.
