Up to 5% of Portuguese companies currently pay for permanent financing instruments, but interest is growing, with 16% admitting its use according to the ISQ and UHY test.
ISQ reported that “5% of Portuguese companies currently use sustainable financial instruments such as “ESG loans”, “green bonds” or “sustainability loans”.
It was based on more than 1,000 responses from companies across all regions and sectors and shows a “good understanding of the topic” with 55% of large companies saying they are familiar with financial support, compared to just 27% of small companies.
“Given the low adoption rate, interest is growing – 16% of companies plan to adopt these tools in the next three years and 21% are interested in learning more,” he says.
Priority areas for investment, according to the document, include “climate change mitigation, circular economy and positive social impact”.
I concluded that “more than 60% of surveyed companies consider sustainable financing preferable to traditional” and point to benefits such as “improved reputation, reduced churn and fostered innovation”.
According to the authors of this study, “significant financing is more than a trend: it is a strategic opportunity to strengthen competitiveness and respond to the demands of international markets.”
