Greening business for access to finance: opportunities for SMEs, the EBRD's programme.

The EBRD's International Advisory for SMEs program https://www.ebrd.com/support-for-small-businesses.html, whose objective is to make exceptional SMEs industry leaders, wants to help them in reaching excellence through the financing of Environment, Social, good Governance and Digitalisation (ESG+D) projects.

The financed international advisory is customised to company needs. As an example, in case of environmental projects, it helps reaching new cash flow (energy efficiency, water reduction consumption) or attaining green markets opportunities though, certification (EMS, ISO, FSC, ESCO etc.), which allows the company to access green public procurement or to reach the alignment to European and other international markets.

Further help can be provided by financing an ESG+D diagnostic, which can be useful also for a medium company which would like to create efficiency throughout all supply chain of micro, small producers. Then supply chain financing can be provided, which by increasing the virtuosity of the small ones facilitates the larger company access to quotation, procurement, and blended finance.  Network financing to a group of SMEs can be supplied to create the access to a special market or a distribution chain or a smart energy grid of renewable energy.
