Inclusive sustainable banking for SMEs

In the final online session of 2024, the SME Banking Community will explore the role of banks in supporting SMEs as they embrace sustainability. As the green transition gains momentum, SMEs face unique challenges in accessing the right tools and financing to adopt eco-friendly practices. This session will provide insights into how banks can bridge this gap, ensuring that green banking solutions are both inclusive and accessible.

Some of the key points we will be discussing include:

• Green finance initiatives: Developing tailored products that encourage SMEs to invest in sustainable practices and technologies.
• ESG reporting support: Assisting SMEs with measuring their activities and fulfilling reporting requirements to authorities, helping them meet regulatory expectations and ESG standards.
• Beyond banking services: Offering guidance, education, and advisory services that empower SMEs to understand and integrate ESG principles through accessible resources and content.
• Carbon footprint tracking and Incentives: Enabling SMEs to monitor their environmental impact while offering financial incentives for reducing their carbon footprints.
