Green-lending, priced by the risk core

Every green loan, priced against real risk - not a self-declared score.

Green Finance runs origination, loan management and collections for banking and financial services - bundled with Enterprise Sustainability and SYNE Climate Risk Management's continuous scoring and independent asset verification. It's how a green loan's pricing, its covenants and its financed-emissions figure all trace back to the same evidence.

One OS, six capability areas

Everything a green lending business actually runs on.

Each capability draws on the same borrower, asset and risk data - priced, monitored and reported from one place, not five disconnected systems.

Comprehensive by design

Six capability areas, priced off the same risk data, every time.

A loan's origination price, its covenant terms and its financed-emissions figure all draw on the same register - so a green discount is never disconnected from the risk it's supposed to reflect.

ContinuousRisk-based repricing
01 - Loan Origination

Priced against real exposure, from application onward.

Origination pulls directly from SYNE Climate Risk Management's continuous register, so pricing reflects a borrower's actual exposure - not a static credit template updated once a year.

Digital Intake & Eligibility Screening

Application intake with automated eligibility checks against green-asset criteria and taxonomy requirements.

Green & Sustainability-Linked Loan Structuring

Loans structured as use-of-proceeds green loans or KPI-linked sustainability-linked loans, from the same origination flow.

Automated Risk-Based Pricing

Pricing calculated directly against the borrower's live risk score - not a periodic credit review disconnected from current exposure.

Multi-Asset-Class Origination

Mortgages, business loans, project finance and sovereign instruments, originated through the same workflow across all seven PCAF asset classes.

02 - Loan Management

Covenants that get checked, not just filed.

A green loan's covenants are only as good as the monitoring behind them - loan management keeps every KPI and repayment schedule live for the life of the facility.

Disbursement Scheduling & Tracking

Multi-tranche disbursement scheduled and tracked against milestone completion for project and construction finance.

Covenant & KPI Monitoring

Sustainability-linked KPIs tracked continuously against target, with automatic flags when a covenant is at risk of breach.

Interest & Repayment Schedule Management

Amortisation, rate resets and margin ratchets managed automatically as KPI performance changes.

Portfolio-Level Consolidated Reporting

Facility-level detail rolls up to portfolio-level views without a separate reporting process.

03 - Collections & Recovery

Early warning, not just late notices.

Collections works from the same risk register as origination - so deterioration in a borrower's risk profile is visible before a payment is actually missed.

Automated Repayment Monitoring

Repayment status tracked continuously across the portfolio, with reconciliation against disbursement and interest schedules.

Delinquency Detection & Early Warning

Risk-score deterioration flags accounts for review before a payment is missed, not after.

Restructuring & Workout Workflows

Structured restructuring workflows that preserve the same covenant and KPI data, rather than starting the loan record over.

Recovery Performance Analytics

Recovery rates and workout timelines analysed against borrower risk profile, to sharpen future underwriting.

04 - Green & Sustainability-Linked Structuring

Structured to a taxonomy, not just a marketing label.

A loan is only as "green" as the framework behind it - structuring is built to recognised standards from day one, not retrofitted for an external review.

Use-of-Proceeds Tracking & Verification

Proceeds tracked against the stated green use case, with verification evidence attached at the point of drawdown.

KPI-Linked Pricing

Margin ratchets tied to sustainability performance targets, calculated automatically as KPI data updates.

EU Taxonomy & Green Bond Principles Alignment

Structuring mapped to recognised frameworks, so a loan's green claim is defensible under external review.

Second-Party Opinion & Framework Documentation

Documentation prepared to support external second-party opinions, rather than assembled after the fact.

05 - Financed Emissions & PCAF Reporting

Financed emissions, reported the way PCAF expects.

This is the same PCAF methodology detailed in Enterprise Sustainability's asset-emissions section - applied directly to the active loan book, not calculated separately at year-end. See the full breakdown, asset class by asset class, on PCAF.

PCAF-Aligned Financed Emissions

Financed emissions calculated across all seven PCAF asset classes - mortgages, business loans, project finance, sovereign debt and more.

Data-Quality Scoring

Every position carries a PCAF data-quality score (1–5), so the credit team can see how much of the book relies on estimates.

Direct Borrower & Supplier Data Collection

Borrowers and their suppliers can submit primary data directly, moving positions up the PCAF data-quality hierarchy over time.

Portfolio & Loan-Book Emissions Dashboards

Financed-emissions trends visible at book, sector and individual-facility level, without a separate reporting cycle.

06 - Collateral & Asset Verification

Collateral, monitored - not just appraised once.

A green asset's environmental performance can change after the loan closes. Verification continues for the life of the facility, not just at underwriting.

Independent Collateral Monitoring

Satellite and ground-level data from SYNE Climate Risk Management verifies collateral condition without requiring a physical inspection.

Environmental Performance Verification

The environmental performance underpinning a green asset's status is checked on an ongoing basis, not assumed for the life of the loan.

Continuous, Not One-Time, Monitoring

Monitoring runs on the same refresh cadence as the rest of the platform - not a single appraisal filed away at closing.

Automated Re-Valuation Triggers

Material changes in environmental risk or asset condition trigger a re-valuation flag automatically, not at the next scheduled review.

Two outputs, one green finance engine

Every loan serves two different mandates.

The same origination and monitoring data supports two distinct outputs - commercial growth for the lending business, and compliance evidence for regulators and investors.

Commercial Output

The case for growing the book

Faster origination, risk-based pricing that rewards genuinely lower-risk borrowers, and a lower cost of capital on the green-labelled portion of the balance sheet.

FasterOrigination cycle time
Risk-PricedNot flat-rate green discount
Compliance Output

The case for the regulator and the investor

PCAF-aligned financed emissions, audit-ready covenant records, and collateral verification that stands up to external review.

PCAF-AlignedAll 7 asset classes
Audit-ReadyFull data lineage
Priced on performance, not on promises

Sustainability-linked pricing, quantified.

In a sustainability-linked loan, the margin moves with the borrower's actual performance. See how pricing, financed-emissions intensity and covenant compliance shift as a borrower's sustainability score changes.

Borrower sustainability score Baseline
Low performerBaselineHigh performer
Margin adjustment+2.5 bps
Financed emissions intensity233 tCO₂e/$M
Covenant compliance likelihood77%
Green asset eligibility53%

Drag the slider to see how a borrower's sustainability score moves loan pricing, financed-emissions intensity, covenant compliance likelihood and green-asset eligibility together - not as four separate assessments.

Business perspective

The same green loan book, read differently from every seat.

A continuously-priced, continuously-monitored green loan book is useful well beyond the credit team that manages it.

Banks & Financial Institutions

Faster origination, risk-based pricing, and a green loan book that's defensible under external review - not just labelled green at launch.

Corporate Borrowers

Margin that genuinely improves as sustainability performance improves - a direct financial incentive tied to the same data used for disclosure.

Institutional Investors

Portfolio-level financed-emissions and covenant-compliance data to evaluate green bonds and securitised green-loan pools.

Regulators

PCAF-aligned financed emissions and audit-ready lending records, built for the same climate stress-test expectations applied to the wider balance sheet.

Governments

Visibility into how much genuinely green lending is flowing into priority sectors, versus loans labelled green without underlying verification.

Insurance

Independently verified asset condition data to support underwriting decisions on the physical assets behind green loans.

The green finance engine

Every other product reads its lending evidence from here.

Green Finance isn't a standalone loan system - it's where the rest of the platform's risk, verification and disclosure data becomes a priced financial product.

CR
SYNE Climate Risk Management

Prices and verifies every loan

Continuous physical, transition and supply-chain risk scores feed directly into origination and repricing decisions, with satellite and ground-level monitoring confirming the ongoing environmental performance behind every green asset.

ES
Enterprise Sustainability

Receives the financed-emissions figure

Portfolio-level financed emissions flow directly into the bank's own Scope 3 category 15 disclosure.

TR
SYNE Trust

Backs trade-finance due diligence

Verified origin and custody records support due diligence for cross-border and trade-finance transactions.

SR
SYNE Ratings

Independently rates the borrower

SYNE Ratings draws on this same data - kept arm's-length - for ESG and sustainability ratings that inform loan pricing.

AM
SYNE Asset Marketplace

Supplies the underlying climate assets

Verified climate assets financing a transaction - carbon credits, renewable energy or nature-based projects - are the same assets listed and priced on the Marketplace, not a separate valuation exercise.

Professional Services

Structures the deal end-to-end

For lenders who want it managed rather than self-served, SYNE's Professional Services team can structure and originate the facility directly.

Looking to deploy capital, not just originate loans? SYNE Capital ↗ handles direct green financing and sustainable investment on the same verified evidence base.
Case studies

How different lenders put Green Finance to work.

Illustrative examples of Green Finance deployed across banking and financial services.

Commercial Banking

A lender reporting financed emissions for the first time

Challenge: No consistent methodology to calculate financed emissions across a mixed loan book spanning four asset classes.

4Asset classes brought under PCAF
1Consolidated financed-emissions report

PCAF-aligned reporting replaced a manual, consultant-led annual exercise with a standing feed the sustainability team could pull from directly.

Corporate Lending

A sustainability-linked loan with a real margin ratchet

Challenge: A manufacturer wanted a genuine sustainability-linked loan, but the bank had no way to verify KPI performance without relying on the borrower's own reporting.

±15bpsMargin ratchet range
QuarterlyIndependent KPI verification

Independent KPI verification meant the margin ratchet reflected genuine performance, not the borrower's self-reported numbers.

Development Finance

A development bank financing renewable energy projects

Challenge: Multi-tranche project finance for renewable energy assets needed milestone-based disbursement tied to verified construction progress.

Milestone-BasedDisbursement, verified progress
1Consolidated project-finance record

Disbursement tranches were released against independently verified construction milestones rather than self-certified progress reports.
