The senior tranche of the o Responsible Commodities Facility (RCF) 2025 green CRAs has received a ‘brAA (sf)’ credit rating from S&P Global Ratings, equivalent to B+ on the international scale.
“The S&P rating validates the strength of the Facility’s credit structure. This is a key milestone in scaling the RCF as a mechanism that offers both measurable environmental impact and solid risk-adjusted returns for investors.” SIM, CEO, Pedro Moura Costa.
Growing rapidly, the RCF incentivises soy farmers in the Brazilian Cerrado to commit to forgoing their right to legally convert the native vegetation in their farms, and adhere to other social and environmental requirements, as defined in RCF’s Eligibility Criteria. The farms are then able to benefit from low-interest credit lines extended by the fund.
