City Developments Limited (CDL) (SGX:C09) has secured a $400 million sustainability-linked loan (SLL) from DBS Bank (SGX:D05) , with nature conservation targets aligned with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures’ (TNFD) recommendations. 

The SLL is the first of its kind and incorporates specific performance targets related to biodiversity conservation, waste management and water efficiency. According to a June 25 announcement, the proceeds will be used for general corporate funding and working capital purposes, including the redevelopment of CDL’s existing assets. 

In March, CDL became the first company in Singapore to publish TNFD-aligned disclosures. CDL’s latest sustainability report includes TNFD disclosures aligned with Target 15 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which was adopted in December 2022 at COP15.
