The margin of the facilities is determined based on Citycon’s credit rating. Additionally, the margin is linked to achieving Citycon’s key sustainability targets.

Connecting Citycon’s sustainability performance to our financing will further support Citycon’s profile as a green investment”, says Bret McLeod, the Chief Financial Officer of Citycon.
