Beschreibung
The EIB financing will support the Promoter's research and development programme in 2021-2024. The Promoter develops and produces specialty chemicals including additives, coatings, sealants and adhesives, effect pigments, impregnating resins and varnishes. The research, development and innovation (RDI) programme has a strong focus on environmental sustainability.
Additionality and Impact
Research and
development is associated with positive knowledge externalities, resulting to
underinvestment relative to the social optimum as they insert a wedge between
private and social returns to investment. The project helps the promoter and
its clients to make their products and production more environmentally friendly. Therefore, it results in positive environmental externalities.
These products and technologies are to be deployed by the promoter's industrial
clients and thus the environmental benefits will radiate through the
whole value chain. The positive environmental externalities are
similarly not fully reflected in the financial returns of the investments.
Overall, the EIB financing will strengthen the promoter's capability to investment
in R&D, complement other financing sources, and improve its credit risk
profile by extending the debt maturity profile. EIB's favourable customised terms are highly appreciated by the company. Therefore, the loan is expected
to provide a positive signalling effect in the market and crowd in complementary
financing sources.
Ziele
The EIB financing will support the Promoter's research, development and innovation (RDI) programme with a strong focus on developing sustainable solutions for products and technologies and the Promoter's goal to reach climate neutrality by 2025. The outputs of the programme will facilitate manufacturing of products, which use toxic-free materials and have higher recyclability and degradability, as well as support design of production processes that are resource- and energy-efficient.

Umweltaspekte
The project includes RDI activities that are not specifically mentioned under the EIA Directive and that will be carried out in existing facilities without changing their already authorised scope. The project will therefore not require an environmental impact assessment (EIA) under the directive 2014/52/EU amending directive 2011/92/EU.
Auftragsvergabe
The Promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions. However, if after the project appraisal, the EIB were to conclude that the Promoter is after all subject to EU public procurement legislation (Directive 2014/25/EU), then the Bank would require the Promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been and will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directive 2014/25/EU, as well as Directive 92/13/EEC), as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the Official Journal of the EU, as and where required.
