The Facility is also certified by Second Party Opinion provider ISS ESG based on AGEL’s sustainable strategy, alignment with Green Loan Principles and sustainability quality of the asset pool, with ‘very high’ transparency standards and significant contributions to SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (climate action). As per the assessment, AGEL shows a high sustainability performance on key ESG issues in the Renewable Energy industry, representing the highest relative ESG performance.
