Sustainability consulting
Credit Suisse offers a select range of sustainability consulting services. Consultation is provided by our internal sustainability team as well as specialized external partners.
Credit Suisse’s sustainability consulting services add environmental and social aspects, such as sustainable financing solutions and ratings to its existing advisory offering. Our external network provides technical advice by assisting with the development of a company-specific sustainability strategy or defining technical measures.
We will be happy to set up an initial meeting with you, your client advisor, and the sustainability team to evaluate the best way forward.
Corporate clients receive exclusive access to our specialized sustainability team. Our advisory service focuses on structuring financing solutions linked to sustainability goals. Furthermore, the team has extensive knowledge of external sustainability rating agencies and is an integral part of Credit Suisse's global network, which provides expertise in areas such as biodiversity or international market standards.

In addition to saving on energy costs, your company will be one step further in the transition to a low carbon economy.
Credit Suisse has a network of partners that support your company in developing sustainability goals and incorporating these into your corporate strategy, through a structured program of selected workshops.
Sustainable financing solutions for companies
Credit Suisse provides sustainable financing solutions that apply concepts of sustainability-linked finance and green finance. Sustainability-linked financing supports environmentally and socially sustainable business activities and growth. Green financing is primarily aimed at environmental issues such as fighting climate change. By integrating specific environmental or social objectives into the financing instruments, they underpin your company's sustainability strategy.
Green finance
Credit Suisse offers sustainable financing solutions that are exclusively intended for use on projects that provide clear environmental benefits such as, projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or protect natural resources.
Green leasing finances the modernization of your vehicles with alternative drive systems (electric, hydrogen, hybrid). This means we can help you achieve your sustainability goals.
Green loans finance projects or assets that make a significant contribution to an environmental goal such as cutting CO2 emissions or promoting biodiversity
Similar to green loans, green bonds are tied to environmental objectives and the funds are used exclusively for environmentally friendly projects.
In addition to green financing, Credit Suisse also offers customized financing solutions for other investments in sustainability (e.g., blue loans and social bonds).
Sustainability-linked finance
Credit Suisse offers its corporate clients sustainability-linked financing solutions in which the financing structure is tied to predefined sustainability objectives.
Decarbonisation-linked loans promote emission reduction targets by linking the achievement of decarbonization targets to the loan structure. As a result, this financing solution offers the opportunity to obtain capital while incentivizing the borrower to reduce its CO2 emissions.
The Credit Suisse decarbonization-linked loan builds on the decarbonisation service of our partner act Cleantech Agentur Schweiz and is aligned with the Science-Based Targets initiative for SMEs.
A sustainability-linked loan (SLL) is a loan instrument which incentivizes the borrower’s achievement of ambitious, predetermined sustainability performance objectives. It is open to large corporates from all sectors who seek to manifest their sustainability ambitions in their financings and benefit from achieving their set sustainability targets.
Companies that issue sustainability-linked bonds base the coupon on certain sustainability objectives.
