The conditions are highly attractive with a term of up to six years with an amortizing structure. The financing is also subject to two sustainability KPIs: production-related CO2 emissions and accident rate. The achievement of sustainability KPIs is audited annually, with a margin step-up/down if the target values are reached or are not achieved. Erste Group and Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) acted as sustainability coordinators.

Sustainability has been the focus of PALFINGER AG for years. Last year, PALFINGER AG initiated its corporate strategy 2030, in which the topic of sustainability plays an important role regarding the company's further growth. A Sustainability Council ensures the implementation of PALFINGER’s ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy and the transformation within the company.
