What this service is
Sustainable project finance focuses on structuring, assessing and monitoring projects where environmental and social performance is central to value creation. It covers green and sustainability-linked loans, bonds and blended finance structures where sustainability outcomes are embedded in the investment case.
Ecostatis supports lenders, investors and sponsors to align financing structures with credible sustainability outcomes across the UK, EU and African markets.
Why it matters
Capital is increasingly flowing towards projects that can demonstrate strong environmental and social performance. At the same time, regulators and stakeholders are scrutinising sustainable finance claims more closely. Poorly designed structures can lead to accusations of greenwashing and undermine trust.
Well-structured sustainable project finance can lower funding costs, broaden the pool of interested investors and attract support from development finance institutions. It ensures that sustainability commitments are measurable, verifiable and integrated into the economic logic of the transaction.
What we offer
We provide comprehensive sustainable project finance services:
- ESG and climate due diligence for project finance transactions
- Assessment of alignment with sustainable finance taxonomies and principles
- Design of KPIs, targets and reporting frameworks for green and sustainability-linked instruments
- Impact frameworks for blended finance and development capital structures
- Ongoing monitoring, data review and independent opinion services
- Capacity-building for internal teams on sustainable finance concepts and practice
We work with both financiers and project sponsors to create structures that are robust, transparent and realistic.
Why choose us
Ecostatis combines sustainability expertise with an understanding of project finance dynamics. We can translate technical impact metrics into terms lenders and investors use to assess risk and return. Our experience in UK, EU and African markets allows us to navigate different regulatory regimes and impact priorities.
We are independent, helping to ensure that sustainability claims are credible and aligned with best practice. This independence is increasingly important as stakeholders scrutinise the integrity of sustainable finance products.
Return on investment
Robust sustainable project finance structures can improve access to capital, reduce funding costs and attract a more diverse pool of investors and partners. They also help protect reputations by reducing the risk of greenwashing claims and ensuring that sustainability commitments are delivered.
For sponsors, the discipline of linking finance to sustainability performance drives better project design, risk management and long-term value creation. For lenders and investors, it supports more resilient portfolios aligned with the transition to a low carbon, inclusive economy.
