Sustainable supply chain financing – World Supply Chain Finance Report
The Report provides an overview of recent developments in the global supply chain finance market on a regional basis - APAC, Europe, Africa and the Americas.
This article was first published by BCR Publishing in January 2020.
In this year’s edition, the demand for supply chain finance is reported to be increasing in all regions, although its attractiveness and the extent to which market participants understand how to implement supply chain finance programmes differ from region to region. A key trend reported in each region is the emphasis on the importance of risk management and technology to further development.
Recent estimates suggest that up to 90 per cent of potential revenue in the supply chain finance market remains untapped. At the same time, while demand for sustainable investing and ESG finance continues to grow, there is a lack of credible sustainable investment opportunities. As a specialist contributor, Jolyon Ellwood-Russell provides his thoughts on the opportunity for the development of sustainable supply chain finance solutions in “Sustainable supply chain financing”.
