Daiwa House Logistics Trust (DHLU) announced on Dec, 22 2025 that it has secured its first sustainability-linked loan, a committed unsecured revolving credit facility of 30 million Singapore dollars.
The facility, arranged with an undisclosed lender, remains undrawn and is designed to link borrowing costs to the real estate investment trust’s achievement of predefined sustainability performance targets.
In conjunction with the transaction, the trust established a sustainability-linked loan framework that aligns with guidelines from the Loan Market Association, Asia Pacific Loan Market Association and Loan Syndicates and Trading Association. An independent third-party reviewer has issued a second-party opinion on the framework.
Chief Executive Officer Jun Yamamura said the loan supports the trust’s broader environmental, social and governance strategy and demonstrates its creditworthiness following the restructuring of its Japan onshore borrowings in 2024.
Daiwa House Logistics Trust’s portfolio comprises 18 logistics properties in Japan and one in Vietnam, with a combined net lettable area exceeding 499,000 square metres.
