Review: “A Practical Guide to the Structuring of SLL and SLB under th
”

The “Practical Guide to Structuring SLLs and SLBs in Uruguay” is a document intended for financial institutions, investors, and companies in the real economy that wish to understand and structure financial instruments linked to sustainability goals in Uruguay. In particular, it addresses sustainability-linked loans (SLLs)—that is, loans whose financial terms may vary depending on the achievement of predefined sustainability goals— and Sustainability-Linked Bonds (SLBs), bonds with a similar logic, in which the cost or terms of financing are linked to the issuing entity’s performance on specific ESG indicators.
The document compiles international best practices for defining key performance indicators (KPIs), baselines, targets, financial incentive mechanisms, and monitoring, reporting, and verification processes, and adapts them to the Uruguayan context. It also includes references and examples for key sectors such as construction, livestock, and transportation. Its objective is to contribute to the development of a local sustainable finance market with greater integrity, credibility, and alignment with the country’s environmental, social, and productive priorities.
