Gunvor secures US $1.335 billion sustainability-linked syndicated RCF with oversubscription

SINGAPORE (7 July 2025) – Gunvor Singapore Pte. Ltd. (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gunvor Group Ltd (“Gunvor” or the “Group”), has closed a US$1.285 billion sustainability-linked, syndicated revolving credit facility (“RCF” or “Facility”) on 13 June 2025.

The Facility, which was launched initially at US$800 million in April 2025, received strong support from Gunvor’s banking partners and attracted new banks, bringing together a total of 28 banks to close significantly oversubscribed by over 60% at general syndication. The Borrower has further upsized the Facility by US$50 million via an accordion feature, which was structured to accommodate two banks that joined the Facility after signing. This brings the total Facility amount to US$1.335 billion as of 7 July 2025, an increase from the previous year.

The 364-day Facility, which is guaranteed by the Company and includes two 12-month extension options, will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes, including the refinancing of the Borrower’s existing US$1.32 billion 2024 Asia Sustainability-linked Revolving Credit Facility.

Similar to previous financings, the Facility includes four sustainability Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) supporting the Group’s strong commitment to improve the environmental and social impacts of its trading operations and to invest in sustainable commodities and businesses. The KPIs relate to the reduction of Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions; reduction of Scope 3 GHG emissions associated with the improvement of energy efficiency of the chartered shipping fleets; the investment in non-hydrocarbon projects; and the assessment of the Group’s assets, JVs and critical suppliers against Human Rights principles. Each KPI is tested annually and verified externally in line with LMA Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles.

“We are very satisfied with the result of our Asian RCF renewal. This achievement is attributed to the strong relationships we maintain with our long-standing banking partners. Additionally, we are pleased to welcome several new lendersthis year”, said Jean Rohr, Gunvor’s Regional CFO for Asia-Pacific.
