Sustainable Water Action Loans (SWALes) are target-based incentive lending structures designed to incentivise Water CCO Borrowers to improve their contribution towards Planetary Boundaries.
A SWALe rewards a borrower through a financial incentive if that borrower commits to adopting and achieving targets using a science-based approach in line with the Planetary Boundaries.
SWALes are available to all Water CCO borrowers, including those who may, or may not, have eligible projects to access Green and Social loans with LGFA.
In order to be eligible to apply for a SWALe, members must first be approved by LGFA to enter into SWALes. The application process is detailed in the Sustainable Water Action Loan - Lending Programme Criteria document.
Sustainable Fitch has completed an assessment of the SWALe Lending Programme.
LGFA are happy to assist in answering any questions on the SWALe criteria or process for applying for a SWALe.
