The lenders agreed to provide lower interest rates for Cofco to achieve sustainability targets covering the traceability and socio-environmental screening of its Brazil soybean supplies and Sustainalytics’ ESG Management Score. All margin savings will fund the company’s sustainability, traceability, or social and environmental improvement projects.
