Green Loans Drafting Guidance (March 17 2025)

This document provides drafting examples of Green Loan-related provisions for a US-style credit agreement. It is not intended to be overly prescriptive or represent market practice. Rather it affords parties a reference tool when negotiating green loan documentation. Given that market practice for these facilities continues to evolve, the document has avoided taking any advance position on certain issues before the market more clearly indicates direction on those issues.  As a reminder, this document is an important educational tool but should be distinguished from LSTA forms and MCAPs which indicate settled practice. The document includes bracketing and illustrative footnotes offering further guidance and color on the provisions.
