FONPLATA engaged Moody’s to conduct an independent review of its Sustainable Debt Framework and issue a Second-Party Opinion (SPO) on its sustainability credentials and alignment with international standards and principles.
As a result of its assessment, Moody’s assigned the Framework an SQS2 rating—Very Good—highlighting its significant contribution to sustainability. The Framework provides for the financing of projects in 21 eligible social, green, and blue categories, and is aligned with the four fundamental components of the ICMA Green and Social Bond Principles (GBP and SBP), as well as the LMA/APLMA/LSTA Green and Social Loan Principles (GLP and SLP), all in their 2025 versions. It is also aligned with the IFC’s Blue Finance Guidelines (v2.0) and the guide “Bonds to Finance the Sustainable Blue Economy: A Practitioner’s Guide”.
