SANDVIKEN, Sweden , June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sandvik has signed a SEK 11 billion revolving credit facility linked to its sustainability targets, with a group of 14 banks. The facility has a five-year tenor with two one-year extension options, and will be used for general corporate purposes and to refinance the existing SEK 9 billion credit facility.

The annual KPIs are aligned with those goals and the interest margin on the facility is affected positively or negatively depending on whether the KPI levels are met.

It is also a testament of our commitment to our ambitious sustainability targets," says Mats W Lundberg, Head of Sustainability at Sandvik.
