When a company borrows money to build a cleaner steel furnace, the bank will set rules, These rules are not just about paying back the loan, they also make sure the company follows through on its environmental commitments. Without these rules, the company might say it is "green" but not actually change.
Do you think banks in Malaysia should always put these rules in place when giving loans for big projects?
Has anyone here gone through this kind of process with banks before? What was your experience?

Financing an Electric Arc Furnace: Why Covenants Matter
A RM200 million electric arc furnace is more than just a balance sheet asset — it’s a test of how well financing structures can balance risk and sustainability. EAFs cut emissions by up to 80% and position steelmakers for the low‑carbon transition, but banks face exposure to scrap supply volatility, price swings, and regulatory scrutiny under CCPT. That’s why covenants on debt ratios, cash flow coverage, supply contracts, and emissions reporting are critical. Done right, they turn a risky loan into a sustainable partnership that protects both lenders and steelmakers in the ESG era.

Thank you for sharing this high-level overview, it is helpful as a general reference and discussion starter. In practice, we often find that the real challenge in EPCIC projects lies in translating standards and frameworks into consistent contractor behaviour, auditable site practices and sound decision-making across design, procurement and construction. If there is interest in further knowledge exchange on practical implementation and assurance on live projects, I would welcome further professional exchange in this area.

Hi Poh,
This is an interesting observation and reflects how sustainable finance is evolving across many jurisdictions. From practical exposure it is common for lenders to focus first on credit fundamentals while environmental commitments are addressed through additional conditions. Where these conditions are clearly framed and monitored over time they can help support follow through rather than reliance on stated intentions alone.
At the same time implementation differs widely depending on the transaction structure and the maturity of both lender and borrower. In practice outcomes tend to be stronger where expectations are translated into measurable indicators and periodic reporting rather than broad statements. It would be useful to hear how others in Malaysia have experienced this process and whether such approaches have been workable in real financing arrangements.
