Dublin Port Company has awarded a tender for corporate finance advisory services to develop a comprehensive funding strategy supporting the successful implementation of DPC’s capital programme as set out in Masterplan 2040. The strategy should address DPC’s future financing needs in line with its corporate strategy and financial projections. The approach must embed ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) priorities throughout and seek to ensure that DPC has access to the widest pool of possible investors. Key elements will include: Analysis of DPC’s historic financials, financial projections, existing funding structure and financial covenants; Evaluation and assessment of alternative financing options relevant to DPC’ capital investment programme, including green bonds and sustainability-linked financial instruments; Development of a detailed funding roadmap, outlining a pathway for securing the necessary capital to deliver DPC’s capital programme, aligned with shareholder expectations; Integration of ESG criteria into funding decisions, reflecting the increasing importance of sustainability in investor and shareholder expectations and regulatory requirements. This Framework was awarded on foot of the Supply Line Qualification System operated by Achilles on behalf of Dublin Port Company
