Plus Plus Sustainability Financing Framework

In 2021, we developed a Sustainability Financing Framework to demonstrate how we intend to enter into Sustainability Financing Transactions (SFTs).

As such, we are able to consider the issuance of Green Loans, Green Bonds, Social Loans, Social Bonds, Sustainability Bonds and Sustainability Linked Loans under this Framework.

Our decision to issue Use of Proceed Instruments provides us with an opportunity to build on our existing social purpose whilst demonstrating our ongoing commitment to become a sustainable, zero carbon business.

On an annual basis, Paradigm will publish a report disclosing the use of proceeds in relation to our transactions, and will make this available here on our website.
