PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Verallia (Paris:VRLA) will meet with debt investors in the coming days with a view to launching, subject to market conditions, a Sustainability-Linked Bond offering for an amount of EUR 300-500 million with a maturity of 5 to 7 years. The net proceeds of this issue would be used to partially refinance the Group's existing financial indebtedness. This issue would also enable the Group to diversify its sources of financing.
The Sustainability-Linked Bond is fully aligned with Verallia’s 2030 ESG ambitions aiming to reduce scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 27.5% and increase its cullet rate on all furnaces, thus contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations (UN SDGs). The CO2 target, designed to support worldwide action to keep global warming to well-below 2°C above pre‐industrial levels, has been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative.
