“Having Moody’s validate our Framework is something our team is incredibly proud of – it’s truly a monumental achievement,” said Michael Dyson, CEO of Infinity Water Solutions. “This signals a major step forward for our industry. We’re not just talking about sustainability; we’re embedding it into every facet of our operations, showing that environmental responsibility and business success can—and must—coexist.”
Infinity’s Framework lays out how it intends to deploy capital toward water recycling, reuse, and conservation projects across energy, agricultural, and industrial applications, showcasing the vital role water plays in achieving many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). By leveraging innovative technologies and sustainable infrastructure, Infinity aims to reimagine the H2O molecule as a renewable asset essential to both economic development and environmental stewardship.
Wells Fargo advised in the structuring of the Framework which contains three use of proceeds categories including: sustainable water & wastewater treatment, renewable energy & climate, and advanced water technologies & conservation. Financings under this Framework will be applied to finance or refinance, in full or in part, new or existing assets that are aligned with the core components of the International Capital Markets Association’s Green Bond Principles (2021), as well as the Green Loan Principles (2023) promulgated by the loan market associations. The Framework is also informed by relevant market guidance including the Guidelines for Blue Finance (2022) by the International Finance Corporation.
The Second Party Opinion (SPO) from Moody’s confirms that Infinity’s Framework aligns with the relevant, globally-recognized, sustainable finance principles, reinforcing Infinity’s dedication to transparency, accountability and sustainable water management. To support this commitment, Infinity will publicly provide impact reporting, showcasing the environmental and social outcomes of funded projects.
“We are proud to have advised Infinity on its Blue Circular Economy Financing Framework,” said David Szmigielski, executive director in Sustainable Finance and Advisory, Wells Fargo Corporate & Investment Banking. “This is a poignant example of how companies can employ differentiated financing structures to catalyze pioneering projects that alleviate pressure on freshwater systems, mitigate water scarcity, and foster water reuse. Furthermore, Infinity’s Framework sets a new benchmark for frameworks of this type by offering investors a location-based screen to deploy capital in high water stress environments.”
Circular economies are essential in addressing global resource scarcity, with water among the most critical resources at risk. Infinity transforms waste streams into valuable resources, creating fit-for-purpose water products that are recycled, reused, and kept in continuous circulation. This closed-loop approach is not only unique to Infinity, but also groundbreaking within the industry, delivering enduring environmental, economic, and social benefits that help ensure water remains accessible for communities, ecosystems, and industries alike.
