Office of Responsibility and Sustainability

TCC Group Holdings has successfully executed a five-year €500 million "Green Loan" through its Dutch subsidiary TCC (Dutch) Holdings B.V. in the international sustainable finance market. This landmark facility was honored as the "Best Green Loan (Manufacturing)" at The Asset Triple A Awards for Sustainable Finance 2026. Securing this title for the second year running reaffirms global confidence in TCC's green financing roadmap and its low-carbon transition.

About The Asset Triple A Awards

The Triple A Awards, hosted by the authoritative financial publication The Asset, are a definitive benchmark for the Asia-Pacific financial sector. The selection process prioritizes deal structure innovation and the integrity of sustainability implementation over simple transaction volume.

This green loan strictly aligns with TCC's latest Green Financing Framework, backed by a Second-Party Opinion from ISS Corporate to ensure compliance with the highest international standards. A key highlight of the transaction is its exceptional financial performance: the interest margin was secured at just 100 basis points (bps)—nearly half the spread of comparable global investment-grade peers. This pricing advantage is expected to generate at least €5 million in annual interest savings, proving that robust sustainability performance is a powerful lever for optimizing financing costs.

Beyond the numbers, The Asset award reflects strong banking support for TCC's 1.5°C reduction pathway. Capital from the facility is earmarked for renewable energy expansion, low-carbon cement plant upgrades, and energy-efficiency projects across Europe and Asia. As TCC scales its global low-carbon footprint and new energy ventures, this award serves as a strategic catalyst for the Group's ongoing leadership in the global energy transition.
