This transaction strengthens Atresmedia Group’s strong social and environmental commitment by linking the financing margin to the social and environmental impact of its business activity.
Atresmedia, a leading media group in Spain and a pioneer in integrating ESG criteria into its financing, thus renews its commitment to this model by linking the renewal of its syndicated financing to the achievement of three sustainability objectives, which will be assessed annually: the free allocation of advertising space to non-profit organisations, improved accessibility of its television content through sign language, and the inclusion of the carbon footprint of key suppliers in the calculation of the Group’s overall emissions.
In this financing transaction, CaixaBank acted as the coordinating bank. In terms of sustainability, BBVA and CaixaBank acted as joint coordinators, with BBVA also assuming the role of sustainability agent, as well as payment and collection agent.
The financial institutions were advised by Clifford Chance, while Cuatrecasas acted as Atresmedia’s legal advisor.
