What’s at stake

Promote sustainable mobility in Brazil

Once completed, São Paulo Metro Line 6 will serve more than 600,000 passengers per day. Line 6 will include 15 metro stations, running along a total of 15 kilometers. It will connect the center of the capital to the city’s northwest corner, crossing through several neighborhoods where some of São Paulo’s main universities are located.

The project aims to improve the travel time of the paulistas, relieve traffic jams on particularly congested roads and, in general, decarbonize the transport sector in São Paulo.

Foster a strong ESG management framework

Construction will be led by Acciona, Spanish international leader in the energy, water and infrastructure markets, while rolling stock will be supplied by the French industrial group Alstom. To this world-class pool of stakeholders, STOA brings its expertise in public-private partnerhsip structuring, notably for the purpose of securing a long-term financing for the project company.

STOA’s additionnality also transpires through the integration of a specific E&S action plan at the project company level (ensuring an alignment of the project with the IFC Performance Standards), a proactive role in the discussions with the potential lenders (in the aim to secure a long-term financing for the project), as well as a solid engagement with Acciona in the mobilization of other private investors to join the project.
