What is SUNREF ?
A green credit line for businesses and individuals, through partner banks and local technical assistance
Developed by Agence française de développement (AFD) in more than 30 countries, Sustainable Use of Natural Resources and Energy Finance (SUNREF) is part of a broad initiative to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy, as well as the sustainable use of natural resources in priority sectors, namely: Construction, Hospitality, Manufacturing and Agriculture. In partnership with the Mauritius Commercial Bank Ltd (MCB), SBM Bank (Mauritius) Ltd (SBM), and AfrAsia Bank Limited (ABL), SUNREF Mauritius offers both financial and technical assistance, so that companies can seize the opportunities of green growth, increase their competitiveness, improve their brand image and get access to new markets.
AFD’s green finance label
SUNREF Mauritius consists of a credit line of EUR 85 million provided by the AFD through partner banks to finance green and inclusive projects which can benefit from Investment Grants of between 5% and 16% of the eligible loan amount. AFD has been involved since 2009 in assisting Mauritius in its transition towards a greener, more inclusive, and more sustainable economy. In association with three local partner banks, AFD has successfully developed a green finance market with appropriate marketing approaches.
SUNREF Mauritius also has a technical assistance programme to help:
- Build the technical capacity of partner banks to identify investment opportunities in climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as in gender equality
- Advise investors on the eligibility of their investment under the SUNREF Mauritius programme and propose best in class technologies, as they develop their projects
- Monitor the implementation of their projects
- The banks market, communicate and promote the financial offers available under the credit line
Topics covered by SUNREF Mauritius : Mitigation & Adaptation to climate change as well as Gender equality
SUNREF is the tailor-made solution that enables companies to invest in equipment and innovative green technologies, thereby adopting business models that are more sustainable and environment-friendly, allowing them to enhance their energy security and resilience to climate change, while reducing their operating costs and environmental ecological. The process has been further streamlined with the creation, in concert with our partner banks, of a list of pre-approved technologies for climate change mitigation and adaptation projects (see LEME below). Moreover, the issue of gender equality, between men and women in the Mauritian economy is also addressed in this programme.
