ROTTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS,<\/strong>\u202f12 December 2019 \u2013 Louis Dreyfus Company B.V. (LDC) today announced the renewal of its two US$400 million revolving credit facilities (RCFs) for its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, a two-year and a three-year facility respectively, including identical sustainability-linked pricing mechanisms. The facilities are issued by Louis Dreyfus Company Suisse S.A., to refinance \u2013 one year ahead of their maturities – the previous two- and three-year facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction completes LDC\u2019s renewal of its three regional RCFs, following North America in May and Asia in August, all of which now incorporate the same sustainability-linked mechanism linking the RCF interest rate to LDC\u2019s performance in meeting reduction targets in four areas \u2013 CO2 emissions, electricity and energy consumption, water usage, and solid waste sent to landfill. According to the agreement, LDC will benefit from an interest rate margin reduction for every year in which it improves its sustainability performance, as validated by an independent auditor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are pleased to have linked all three of LDC\u2019s regional RCFs with the company\u2019s environmental targets in 2019,\u201d said Federico Cerisoli, LDC\u2019s Group Chief Financial Officer. \u201cCommitments are not just words – they engage our whole organization. So linking the outcomes of those commitments to our financing is a coherent and logical step.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLDC has a broad geographic presence and business portfolio in EMEA, and it is essential that as we source, process and supply agricultural and food products, we strive to minimize our environmental impact,\u201d commented Michael Gelchie, LDC\u2019s Chief Operating Officer. \u201cSustainability-linked funding further serves to federate our efforts across the company to achieve our goals, and to deliver fair and sustainable value across our business.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction was led and anchored by Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, ING Bank N.V., Rabobank U.A. (\u201cRabobank\u201d), Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as joint lead arrangers and bookrunners. Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and Rabobank acted as sustainability coordinators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
