Wilmar International Limited (Wilmar) has secured a three-year, $100 million sustainability-linked loan from Maybank. Under the facility, the interest rate will be reduced on a tiered basis based on Wilmar achieving a set of pre-determined Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) metrics. These targets include Wilmar's internal key performance indicators as well as external benchmarking standards, one of which is continued inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) World Index.

Based on meeting long-term ESG criteria, the DJSI World Index represents the top 10% of the largest 2,500 companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index.
