Last month, Link Group announced that its sustainability commitments enabled it to become the first Scottish social housing provider to access an £80 million funding deal from Scottish Widows.
Borrowed on a 30-year term, the environmental, social and governance (ESG) linked loan is connected to Link’s commitment to sustainability performance targets, with the funds supporting the delivery of new affordable housing.
In this episode, Nick Pollard explains what ESG is, its role in Link’s £80 million funding deal from Scottish Widows and why investors are increasingly seeking to back climate-friendly projects.
Co-host Jimmy Black has written a blog to accompany the episode.
