Evaluation Summary

In this thematic loan Annual Review letter, Sustainalytics provides a third-party assessment on whether the projects financed by the loan and the borrower’s reporting are aligned with the intended use of proceeds and commitments set out in the bond or loan framework. The final assurance letter can be shared with investors, added to loan or sustainability reports or published on the borrower’s website.
