Big isn’t always beautiful
Adam Smith Awards 2016 Highly Commended Winner – Top Treasury Team and Best Financing Solution
The treasury team at Royal FrieslandCampina has demonstrated you don’t have to be a big team to make a real impact and were a Highly Commended Top Treasury Team.
They have implemented several projects in just 16 months across a broad spectrum of cash, treasury, technology and financing areas. Royal FrieslandCampina is an unrated company which makes the financing solution, for which they were awarded a Highly Commended in the Best Financing Solution category, a little different. This solution includes a Schuldschein, a type of privately-placed German debt similar to a mid-term note and is the first green debt instrument to be issued by a dairy company and the first issued by a non-German issuer.
This webinar was held on Wednesday 5th October 2016.
