Our mission is to achieve an optimal financing solution. To an increasing extent, sustainability is becoming a crucial element to achieve this best financing. From the perspective of an investor or financier, it is a fair assumption that sustainable assets will have a higher value, better leaseability, better marketability but also better cost control (that does not just regard energy costs, but also futurelevies and fines). There are however more than just objective reasons.

Financiers are driven by stakeholder pressure.

Just public relations and green strategy will no longer suffice to comfort stakeholders. To an increasing extent, public organizations and larger companies will need to report on their sustainability profile, ambitions, and improvements that they have achieved. This is largely driven by the required CSRD reporting on scope-3 impact.

The scope 3 impact that lenders create through their own operations, compares to a multiplied 700 times scope-3 impact that they facilitate through their lending. Testing loans on sustainability impact is therefore inevitable. And financiers start to realize that swiftly.

PPREF will help you prepare your financing request in order to offer the most marketable proposition and facilitate the financing of your sustainable investment.

We are perfectly suited to support you in finding the best financing solution, making use of the full (international) financing landscape, by means of sound preparation, spot on presentation, and highly professional assistance on closing the best deal.
