Sustainable financing is changing, as more banks widen their lens to look across supply chains, including smallholder farmers for agribusiness.

“The funds have to make their way down, to allow the rest of the supply chain to adapt,” says Deborah Leerhsen, deputy head of Asia & Oceania corporate banking for Mizuho Bank.

Mizuho has been active in this area, sounding out possible pilot deals with corporate customers.

“We are exploring several approaches which can provide our clients with supply chain finance,” says Ivy Lau, head of sustainable finance APAC for Mizuho Securities.
