UPL swaps USD 700 Mn acquisition loan with a Sustainability loan
UPL is on a mission to reimagine sustainability across everything it does - developing and distributing solutions that secure our future whilst safeguarding the environment. It is UPL's firm belief that agriculture is an underappreciated resource and is an integral part of the solution to the climate crisis. The swapping of USD 1.45 billion acquisition loan to SLL with an opportunity to further reduce the interest cost is an example of our focus on sustainability and ESG providing a cost advantage.
In 2021, the company was ranked as the highest performing top tier, global crop-protection company amongst its peers by Sustainalytics for the second year running. UPL also recorded strong performances in the most recent Dow Jones Sustainability Index (61% improvement on 2018 score) and FTSE Russell (68% higher than industry average).
