SOMFY confirms its commitment to sustainable development by integrating non-financial performance targets into the financing

SOMFY has integrated non-financial performance targets into the financing conditions of its €350 million syndicated line of credit. Effective from 2023, the initiative confirms the group’s commitment to sustainable development.

Crédit Agricole CIB and LCL supported SOMFY as ESG coordinators for the financing, providing the company with the Crédit Agricole Group’s recognised expertise in sustainable finance. 

The Bank supported SOMFY in the implementation of a €350 million revolving credit facility refinancing bilateral debts. The facility will be used to finance the company’s general needs and integrates non-financial performance targets consistent with SOMFY’s robust CSR strategy. 

As part of the transaction, the cost of financing will be indexed annually on three key indicators:

• the reduction of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions;
• the reduction of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions;
• an increase in the proportion of women in management.
