As Crédit Agricole CIB commits to striving for excellence, the Bank has broken its records in debt capital markets in 2024 – reaching top 3 in Investment Grade bonds for G3 currencies in Asia, consistently maintaining top 2 in green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds in Hong Kong, as well as top-ranking positions in HKD and CNH bonds league tables, while being one of the most active foreign banks in the Southbound Bond Connect and Swap Connect schemes. The Bank’s excellence has spread in the industry, as numerous clients, including new clients, mandate Crédit Agricole CIB in landmark deals. To date, Crédit Agricole CIB has captured approximately 90% market share among Hong Kong public bond issuances and had led all Hong Kong public bonds transactions in 2024.Notably, Crédit Agricole CIB has continued to act as the green structuring bank and joint global coordinator on all Hong Kong SAR Government’s institutional green bond issuances, and acted as the social, green and sustainability structuring advisor on all social issuances issued by the Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation. Nonetheless, Crédit Agricole CIB acted as the sole sustainable structuring advisor for the Hong Kong Urban Renewal Authority on its inaugural Sustainable Finance Framework and priced a triple-tranche HK$12 billion senior bonds for the Hong Kong Urban Renewal Authority in August 2024, underscoring its leadership.<title-block>Ongoing excellence for sustainable finance</title-block>Despite being the top sustainable finance bank in the region, Crédit Agricole CIB challenges the benchmark it has set, and continues to seek innovation and breakthroughs, as it tightens its ESG governance by introducing a new ESG Analytics Team in 2024 internally to manage ESG data.

Not to mention, to date, Crédit Agricole CIB is the only bank that has financed all offshore wind farm projects in Taiwan.Beyond innovating solutions, the Bank has also been sharing knowledge and experience with the wider market for a mass achievement.

<body>Taiwanese semiconductor technology company GlobalWafers successfully completed a 60 million Danish kroner (approximately €8 million) green financing with Crédit Agricole CIB acting as the sole green agent and sole lender. Proceeds of the green financing will be invested in Topsil GlobalWafers A/S (Topsil), a Danish subsidiary of GlobalWafers, to support its construction of solar power plants, representing a major milestone in global wafer green manufacturing for GlobalWafers.Inaugurated in January 2025, Topsil is the world’s first sustainable crystal-growing manufacturing facility to operate on 100% self-generated low carbon electricity (Source: GlobalWafers). By constructing a solar power plant with an installed capacity of 10 million watts, the facility is capable to generate 9.88 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually – exceeding the energy consumption of Topsil. This investment enables Topsil to operate with self-generated green power, while any surplus solar power will be fed back to the Danish community.Since officially participating in the RE100, an international business initiative that brings together corporates committed to using 100% renewable electricity, GlobalWafers has been dedicated to running completely on renewable energy across all its global operating sites. The company has focused on optimising existing equipment, implementing energy-saving measures, and comprehensively applying various green solutions to increase the proportion of renewable energy utilisation.This green loan not only represents a significant milestone in advancing clean energy transitions and low-carbon technology development, but also underscores GlobalWafers’ commitment to establishing a sustainable semiconductor ecosystem – striving for a win-win outcome that balances environmental sustainability with economic benefits.Crédit Agricole CIB, with its strong international network, provides comprehensive financial services to clients around the world through a team of professionals across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Just a few months ago, we supported another Taiwanese company E-Ink in completing its inaugural green loan which represents the first green loan issued in Taiwan and in the Asia-Pacific region based on the EU Taxonomy validated by a second party opinion.</body>

<body>Proceeds of the DKK 60 million green financing will be invested in GlobalWafers’s Danish subsidiary Topsil factory through the construction of a solar power plant to support its green electricity operation.</body>
