Private credit and direct lending are growing funding sources, historically driven by high mergers and acquisitions activity. The financing is provided by non-bank creditors, often institutions or debt funds, through bilateral or syndicated loans.

For the financing to be labelled as green, a Green Finance Framework is produced in accordance with The Loan Market Association’s Green Loan Principles and International Capital Market Association’s Green Bond Principles. In contrast to Green Bonds where a second opinion is recommended according to the Green Bond Principles, no such second opinion is needed for Green direct lending.
