Elekta signs first sustainability-linked revolving credit facility valued at EUR 250 million

STOCKHOLM – Elekta (EKTA-B.ST) announces that it has successfully closed its inaugural sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (the “facility”) for EUR 250 million. The facility is based on both social and environmental key performance indicators (KPIs) and follows on Elekta’s sustainability-linked bond, issued in 2021, which was oversubscribed.
 
The facility is linked to KPIs such as:

• increasing access to radiotherapy in underserved markets through the installation of linear accelerators,
• reducing absolute Scope 1 & 2* emissions,
• increasing the proportion of Elekta’s suppliers that have science-based emission reduction targets.

Hilma Nordquist, Elekta’s Group Sustainability Director, says: “Sustainability is an integral part of our ACCESS 2025 strategy, and we are pleased to closely link it to our financing. The deal underlines the confidence in Elekta’s financial and sustainability performance and our commitment to sustainable business practices and willingness to drive positive impact.”
 
This sustainability-linked refinancing reflects Elekta’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which was recently validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
 
The facility has an initial tenor of five years and includes two one-year extension options. The Bank of America Europe DAC acted as sole Coordinator, Sustainability Coordinator and Documentation Agent, while Danske Bank A/S will act as the Facility Agent.
 
*Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) cover emissions across the company’s operations.
