DBS and City Developments Limited (CDL) have established a S$300 million sustainability-linked loan focused on nature-based urban development in Singapore. The financing is tied to specific performance targets including the expansion of urban farming, the creation of native micro-forests, and improved water efficiency. This move signals a shift in sustainable finance, moving beyond simple carbon reduction metrics to include broader ecosystem outcomes. The loan aligns with Singapore's Green Plan 2030 and follows CDL's previous efforts to integrate nature-related financial disclosures into its corporate strategy.
