(SSP), jointly signed an EXIM Thailand sustainability linked loan (SLL) agreement worth 2,000 million baht to finance SSP Group’s investment in renewable energy power plants both at home and overseas at EXIM Thailand’s Head Office on February 19, 2024.

This is in line with EXIM Thailand’s aim to become the Green Development Bank, propelling the sustainable development of Thailand and ASEAN under the Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP) which higher consumption proportion of renewable energy and clean energy is targeted, and also under the ASEAN Energy Collaboration Plan thereby ASEAN member states have set a collective renewable energy capacity target of 35% of the region’s total power generating capacities by 2025. EXIM Thailand has rendered SLLs to Thai entrepreneurs which operate businesses with environmental, social and governance (ESG) frameworks. The Bank aims to support the development of future industries linked to the bio-circular-green (BCG) economy and enhance energy security in ASEAN while balancing economic, social and environmental growth on a sustainable basis.
