Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking (Natixis CIB) and Enel have reached an agreement to  link foreign exchange derivatives transactions between the parties to Enel’s medium-to-long  term sustainability targets in accordance with Enel’s existing Sustainability-Linked Financing  Framework. 

Under the framework, FX options, forwards and swaps executed between Natixis CIB and Enel  accumulate a sustainability incentive that Natixis CIB will transfer to Enel upon its achievement of its  December 2022 renewable consolidated installed capacity objective, to be verified by an independent  third party.
