DBJ Sustainability Linked Loans with Engagement Dialogue

What are sustainability linked loans with engagement dialogue?

Sustainability linked loans are financial instruments whose aim is to achieve sustainable growth for both borrowers and society as a whole. Based on the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles drawn up by the Loan Market Association and the Green Loan and Sustainability Linked Loan Guidelines issued by the Ministry of the Environment, they work by incentivizing the linkage of loan terms and conditions to the achievement of targets – sustainability performance targets, or SPTs – consistent with the borrower's sustainability strategy.
