CARE Bangladesh 292d ago

On August 20–21 2025, CARE Bangladesh hosted a two-day event for private sector companies to explore how businesses can play a greater role in shaping a better future for all. The event brought together leaders from diverse sectors—Ready-made Garments (RMG), banking, finance, Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), agribusiness, green energy, impact investors, embassies, and policymakers—to discuss four critical themes, Green Financing is one of them. Watch the full video to gain understanding of what was discussed. Summary of the session: Green Financing and Circular Economy sessions revealed a massive funding gap for renewable energy and sustainable transitions. While banks have begun adopting green finance targets, SMEs face prohibitive barriers in accessing funds due to collateral demands, weak credit histories, and lack of technical expertise. Participants stressed the need for “green professionals,” certification support, blended finance instruments, and stronger corporate awareness of carbon markets. Recycling, renewable energy financing, and decarbonization advisory emerged as priority areas where CARE can act as a bridge between businesses, financiers, and communities.
