Pioneer of “green” credit financing

Implenia has been awarded an outstanding 86 points by Sustainalytics for 2022, 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. Due to its current good rating, Implenia receives better conditions. The fact that Implenia's long-standing sustainability efforts also have a clear monetary impact on its financing marks an important and consistent milestone.

Sustainalytics is a leading global research and analysis firm for environmental, social and governance issues.
