The 10-year variable-rate loan includes a fixed-rate period for the first six years via a loan-linked ISDA agreement, minimising interest rate risk.

In line with Stonewater's commitment to sustainability, the loan incorporates sustainability-linked performance targets. These offer a reduced interest rate if agreed environmental performance indicators are met.
