ESG Credit
ESG credit represents one of the most dynamic areas of European finance, growing at over 20% annually. EU regulations (CSRD, CSDDD, EBA Guidelines) require that environmental, social, and governance criteria be integrated into financing processes. In this context, instruments such as Sustainability-Linked Loans and Green Bonds are becoming market standards. For mid-market companies (€5–50 million), alignment with the EU Taxonomy and the development of ESG policies and KPIs are now essential for accessing new forms of capital.
