Crédit Agricole Italia supports Gruppo Mastrotto's sustainable growth with a 25 million euro ESG-Linked loan

Gruppo Mastrotto, a global leader in high-quality leather processing, confirms its position as a benchmark for sustainable innovation, including in economic and financial terms. 

Within this context, Crédit Agricole Italia has provided important support by choosing to back the Group's strategic path with a 25-million-euro ESG-Linked loan. The operation recognizes the substantial value of the company's commitment to ambitious and concrete ESG objectives, linking the evolution of financing costs to the achievement of specific performance indicators.

Gruppo Mastrotto's sustainable innovation projects linked to this operation are developing in two fundamental directions. The first relates to the extension of LCA analysis (Life Cycle Assessment) to all product lines, a methodological commitment that goes beyond simple measurement and materializes in continuous improvement of environmental footprint. The second involves the introduction of a recovery system fororganic by-product in the early tanning phases, which are subsequently transferred to specialised companies for transformation into components for fertilizers and bio-stimulants.

The operation strengthens Gruppo Mastrotto's strategic vision, which in the 2023-2024 period has invested in numerous projects related to environmental, social, and governance sustainability, consolidating a business model that integrates innovation and continuous improvement. With consolidated revenues exceeding 500 million euros and over 5,000 employees, the company has recently acquired control of Coindu Group, a European leader in the design and production of high-quality leather and fabric automotive interiors.

With this financing operation, Crédit Agricole Italia confirms its trust in companies that generate sustainable value, supporting business entities committed to responsible and future-oriented growth to the benefit of territories and communities.
