Brazilian data center Elea Digital announced this week that it raised over $100 million in sustainability-linked debt. This fund will be used to aid ongoing organic expansion and align the company's infrastructure with international standards.
Alessandro Lombardi, president of Elea Digital, said, “Elea Digital continues to innovate and stands out as a pioneer in the Latin American market in building responsible infrastructure, envisioning a green and digital future. To achieve this, we have decided that it is not enough to have a high female presence in the company; rather, we must ensure that our women hold leadership positions, positions of decision-making. We believe this will make us more competitive, advanced, and attuned to what matters most to us: the sustainable future of the industry.”
Rafael Garcia Fonseca Ferreira Lima, head of Fixed Income at Bradesco BBI, added, “By taking on the goal of women in leadership roles, the company reinforces its commitment to the diversity agenda, considering the low female penetration in the sector. Bradesco BBI strengthens its support, participating in all the company’s issuances.”
