Contents 2030 Finance Target— Sustainability-linked Loans Fifth Third participates in credit facilities with the concept of “green” or “sustainable” pricing, whereby the borrower is able to achieve reduced pricing by meeting certain sustainability metrics. These metrics can be a certain percentage of “green” assets in a portfolio for a real estate customer or GHG emission reductions for other corporate banking clients. Fifth Third believes incentivizing customers to achieve agreed upon sustainability or other ESG metrics will help support them through the transition to a low-carbon economy. In 2021, Fifth Third participated in 27 sustainability-linked loans totaling nearly $27 billion, with Fifth Third’s share reaching over $1 billion.
