Sustainability-linked interest rate derivatives are still relatively uncommon. Deutsche Glasfaser is, however, one of the companies that has already gained experience with them. The telecommunications company has hedged the interest rates on its ESG-linked loan, which was finalised in 2022, using an ESG-linked hedge. During the online event, Christian Fangmann, Head of Treasury & Capital Market Communication at Deutsche Glasfaser Group GmbH, will explain why such an interest rate derivative is the ‘icing on the cake’ of sustainable financing and what needs to be taken into account when entering into such an arrangement. The session will be moderated by Sabine Paulus, Treasury Specialist at the VDT.
