Sustainability Solutions

Partnering for a sustainable tomorrow

At SMBC, we prioritise building long-term, trusted partnerships with our clients, working together to navigate evolving customer expectations, emerging regulatory requirements, and growing sustainability challenges. Our goal is to drive meaningful business growth while minimising environmental and social impact.

What we offer

As a trusted partner in sustainable finance, we work closely with our clients to drive business growth while supporting their transition to a low-carbon, more sustainable economy. Through a comprehensive suite of solutions - including strategic advisory services and capital raising via Green, Social, and Sustainability-Linked Bonds and Loans - we empower clients to lead with purpose and achieve their sustainability ambitions.


Sustainable Capital Markets

Our support begins pre-issuance, where we help shape use of-proceeds and sustainability-linked debt through tailored finance frameworks, expert appointments, benchmarking and strategic marketing. During execution, we amplify investor engagement with targeted outreach and expert-led roadshows. We ensure lasting value through post-issuance support for ongoing reporting and investor engagement obligations.
