Bláthnaid also manages the financial risk for the company across liquidity, FX and interest rate risk. As part of managing potential future liquidity risk, Bláthnaid views the Sustainability Linked Loan as an important demonstration to AGL’s banks of the company’s commitment to decarbonisation, to help ensure they are comfortable in continuing to support AGL through this time of transition.
Equally all bank lenders to AGL on this and previous facilities are required to complete a Lender Code of Conduct questionnaire as AGL seeks to collaborate with its banks to minimise adverse social, economic and environmental effects in its financing supply chain.
