Argan, the only French real estate company specializing in the development & rental of PREMIUM warehouses has signed with Crédit Agricole Nord de France and other regional banks from Crédit Agricole, a sustainability performance-linked loan of €139.6 m. The rate will vary depending on the group's CSR (Corporate social responsibility) performance, which will be measured by the evolution of two criteria:
This transaction enables Argan to refinance a portfolio of six logistics warehouses in France.
This step is in line with the Climate Plan, launched in 2020 by Argan, which aims to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions of the existing warehouse portfolio and future developments with Aut0nom®, which now becomes the warehouse that already meets the requirements of the 2050 regulations in terms of heating and lighting.
This financing, for which Crédit Agricole Nord de France is the Arranger, the CSR Coordinator and the Agent, was carried out alongside a group of Crédit Agricole Regional Banks: CA Sud Rhône Alpes, CA Aquitaine, CA Centre France and CA Brie Picardie.
