- PIONEERING SOLUTION: The ‘Shopping Line’ financing is based on various contracts with Chinese suppliers, reinforcing ACCIONA’s global supply chain
ACCIONA has closed the first sustainable credit facility based on purchases from suppliers (‘Shopping Line’) covered by China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (SINOSURE), the Chinese export credit agency. The financing, which totals €206 million, has been underwritten by BBVA, which acted as Mandated Lead Arranger and Sinosure Coordinator through its Hong Kong branch.
This innovative financing structure leverages various supply contracts with Chinese exporters, consolidating them under a single credit line. These contracts are strategic at a global level for ACCIONA's infrastructure business and reinforce long-term cooperation with Chinese exporters.
This transaction is part of ACCIONA's Sustainable Impact Financing Framework, as it incorporates both a corporate sustainability target and a local impact indicator that consists of training programs for Chinese suppliers aimed at decarbonizing their operations, thereby contributing to the adoption of more sustainable solutions across the company's supply chain.
This transaction broadens ACCIONA’s diversification of financing sources and highlights the company's capacity to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to support its growth, in collaboration with international financial institutions and export credit agencies.
