渣打匯豐協助西九管理局取40億元可持續發展表現掛鉤貸款
西九文化區管理局簽訂首筆可持續發展表現掛鉤貸款,總額40億元,成爲香港首間法定機構及首間藝術文化機構簽訂可持續發展表現掛鉤貸款協議。
有關貸款協議爲期三年,當中包括定期及循環信貸,由香港上海匯豐銀行及渣打銀行擔任聯席全球協調銀行及可持續發展結構銀行。
在有關貸款協議下,如管理局在三年貸款期內達至預定的環境、社會和管治目標,將符合資格享有分層優惠貸款利率。該等目標包括綠色建築認證、爲殘疾人士及弱勢社羣提供無障礙服務,及爲青少年提供藝術及文化學習活動。
管理局董事局主席唐英年表示,是次貸款安排是西九邁向可持續融資發展重要的裏程碑,亦展示對環保和提供無障礙服務的堅定承諾。
匯豐香港區行政總裁林慧虹表示,作爲香港首個簽訂可持續發展表現掛鉤貸款的法定機構,西九文化區管理局將可持續發展目標融入財務策略,並訂下一系列環境和社會影響相關、進取兼全面的目標,將進一步協助推動香港作爲亞洲綠色金融樞紐的發展。
渣打香港行政總裁禤惠儀女士表示,此筆可持續發展表現掛鉤貸款是香港可持續發展貸款市場的又一重大成就。香港的可持續發展債務市場正迅速增長,於2021年達到206億美元。隨着香港目標在2050年或之前達到淨零碳排放,預期更多本地企業和機構將尋求可持續發展融資方案。
