Notable Delphos Achievements in Sustainable Finance

Our commitment to sustainable finance spans multiple areas, each reinforcing our role as a leader in responsible investing:

• Promoting green and social bonds: Delphos actively supports the issuance of green and social bonds. These financial instruments fund projects that prioritize environmental and social impact, aligning capital markets with global sustainability goals. For example, in 2018, Delphos arranged US$119.5MM in green bond-funded debt from IFC and IDB Invest for Tropicalia Resort in the Dominican Republic. This EDGE-certified project is the country’s first IFC Green Bond financing, boosting environmental standards and local growth.
• Facilitating sustainable infrastructure projects: In emerging markets, sustainable infrastructure is critical. Delphos supports infrastructure that is resilient, environmentally conscious, and economically beneficial to local communities. In 2024, Delphos secured US$34MM in non-recourse financing for MPC Energy Solutions’ 66MWp solar PV plant in Guatemala. This project boosts sustainable infrastructure, advancing clean energy and economic growth through innovative financing.
• Advancing ESG-linked loans: ESG-linked loans are an essential tool in our portfolio. By offering loans tied to sustainability metrics, we empower clients to meet targeted environmental and social goals. In 2014, Delphos advised a consortium to secure US$350MM for Indonesia’s 330MW Sarulla geothermal project. This financing included 20-year loans from the Asian Development Bank, Clean Technology Fund, and Canadian Climate Fund.
• Supporting emerging market growth: Emerging markets often face unique challenges in financing sustainability. Delphos provides innovative solutions to help these regions transition toward a low-carbon economy, contributing to both local and global climate objectives. Delphos advised Ormat on raising $66.5 million for two geothermal projects in the Philippines. The projects, backed by US Ex-Im Bank, advanced clean energy in the Leyte Geothermal Field.
