  • Lendlease Completes Second Oversubscribed Green Bond in Five Months
    Lendlease completes second oversubscribed green bond in five months Sydney, 26 March 2021: Lendlease’s industry leading sustainability commitments continue to strongly resonate with investors as the Group today completed its second oversubscribed green bond issue in just five months. The new $300 million 10-year fixed rate green bond, which pays a coupon of 3.7 per cent, follows the successful issue of Lendlease’s $500 million debut green bond in October 2020. In raising a total of $800 million across the two transactions, Lendlease has become the largest non-bank ASX listed issuer of green bonds to date. Bond proceeds will be used to support the delivery of green buildings and are earmarked to eligible projects within Lendlease’s $110 billion global development pipeline – including 22 major urbanisation projects such as Sydney’s Barangaroo, the UK’s International Quarter London and Chicago’s Southbank. The delivery of these buildings will drive a range of market leading initiatives, with benefits ranging from the lowering of carbon emissions, to reducing the environmental impact of materials and the delivery of health and wellbeing benefits. This second green bond issue follows Lendlease’s announcement of two new sustainability targets that reflect the Group’s commitment to this area: 1. The environmental target sets a global benchmark for the real estate industry by becoming a 1.5ºC aligned company and committing to ‘Net Zero Carbon’ for scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025, and ‘Absolute Zero Carbon’ across all operations, including the supply chain, by 2040. 2. The social target signposts Lendlease’s aspiration for delivering social benefit by committing to the creation of $250 million of measured social value by 2025.
