Environmental Finance has released its third edition of the Sustainable Loans Insight, a comprehensive report on the latest developments in the sustainable loans market, with in-depth analysis of loans issued in the 12 months to the end of H1 2025.
It emerges at a fascinating time for the sustainable loan market activity and a significant acceleration in the development of potentially critical initiatives.
According to Environmental Finance Data, in the first six months of 2025, more than $390 billion has been raised through sustainable loans – down around 18% on the amount raised during both the first and second halves of 2024.
Nonetheless, the second quarter of 2025 was just 3% lower than the same period in 2024 – suggesting sustainable loan activity is picking up.
The free-to-download publication includes expert perspectives from Barclays, Moody's Ratings, Sustainable Fitch and DNV, alongside league tables of the top bookrunners and sustainability coordinators active in the market.
Featuring informative infographics from Environmental Finance Data, the report presents global and regional breakdowns by sector, use of proceeds, and KPIs. It also provides deep dives into transition and alternative sustainable loan structures, and a review of the largest sustainable loans closed during the period.
