“This funding will open broader opportunities for the Indonesian population, especially those who do not have access to formal financial services. Aside from providing affordable and transparent services that meet customer needs, we will additionally provide educational initiatives in several cities to increase financial literacy in Indonesia, alongside government efforts,” Director for Home Credit Indonesia Volker Giebitz said.

The ESG-linked loan complies with the Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles of the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association that support environmentally and socially sustainable economic activity, and performance targets will be independently verified by a third-party advisor.

This marks Home Credit’s first ESG-linked loan in Indonesia.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
