AECOM 修正及展延信用貸款,並將其與環境,社會和治理(ESG)理念相連結

LOS ANGELES (February 8, 2021) — AECOM (NYSE:ACM), the world’s premier infrastructure consulting firm, today announced that it has executed an amendment to its existing senior secured credit facilities. The amendment extends the maturity of the facilities to 2026 and reduces the Company’s borrowing costs, which is aligned with the needs of the Professional Services business. The amended facilities consist of a $1.15 billion revolving credit facility and a $247 million Term Loan A U.S. facility.

In addition, reflecting AECOM’s commitment to advancing its environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives and delivering a better world, the facility includes incentives linked to achieving certain sustainability, and diversity and inclusion goals. These measures include:

  • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions at a rate that is consistent with AECOM’s previously announced Science Based Targets that align with the target reductions included in the Paris Agreement.
  • Continued increase in the percentage of women in the organization to further promote inclusion and diversity.

“A key component of our Think and Act Globally is extending our position as a leading ESG firm, and I am proud that we are one of the earliest companies in the U.S. to take action by linking our cost of capital to our sustainability, and diversity and inclusion objectives,’’ said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chief executive officer. “We have made tremendous progress on our initiatives to advance the sustainability of our operations and foster equity, diversity and inclusion in all elements of our business. Our teams are energized by and aligned on the opportunity to take our efforts further, and I am excited by the potential of what we can achieve as leaders in ESG.”
