07 November 2026

10 minutes read

This article explores the concept of "complementary football" and how sustainability can serve as both a defensive and offensive strategy in private credit investing. While lenders traditionally focus on risk mitigation, sustainability-related factors can also drive growth, strengthen cash flows, and enhance borrower resilience.
