CEZ closes its third sustainability-linked loan, can draw up to CZK 2.5 bn from CaixaBank

CEZ has negotiated another sustainability-linked loan – its third already – connected to ESG rating. The credit line provided by the CaixaBank branch operating in the Polish market amounts to CZK 2.5 billion. As in the case of the two previous credit agreements, if CEZ meets its decarbonisation commitments in the coming years, it will obtain a more favourable interest rate at draw-down, whereas if its ESG parameters deteriorate, its interest rate will jump up. In total, CEZ can draw up to CZK 13.5 bn from all three loans linked to ESG. In terms of sustainability, CEZ Group is currently among the top 13% best-rated publicly traded companies in the world.
