Abstract: This case study examines the reasons why CBA approved the transaction despite the company not meeting conventional criteria for lending and being an unknown player operating in an unproven industry space. It aims to highlight how new business, customers and market share can be secured, lasting business relations be sustained and more inclusive financing be realized, all without losing sight of appropriate levels of risk assessment and management. It will also discuss the opportunities for sustainable finance transactions to enhance banks’ corporate CSR profile and contribute to sustainable national and economic growth.
