Investing to achieve portfolio-level emissions reductions

Bregal’s Sustainable Development Financing (“SDF”) program is a €50 million capital pool that provides loans on attractive terms to existing portfolio companies to invest in projects with positive sustainability outcomes.

Launched in 2018, the SDF is a tool for portfolio companies to fund strategy-related projects that help improve ESG performance, while simultaneously creating business value. As large-scale improvement projects can require additional capital and involve longer payback periods, the SDF incentivizes management teams with low-interest shareholder loans to drive progress on ESG roadmaps.

As Bregal’s overall percentage of approved science-based targets increases, the SDF has recently been leveraged specifically for investing in decarbonization solutions or improvements in business processes that increase efficiency while reducing or avoiding emissions. 63% of active loans directly support decarbonization projects, amounting to €18.9m across nine portfolio companies.[[3]]
