FACS was invited to present at the in-house workshop held by CIMB Niaga Indonesia in Jakarta. This “Managing Palm Oil Risks” is part of a series of events driven by RSPO to engage with the financial sector in Indonesia with the long-term goal of shifting the preference of the targeted banks to actively support sustainable palm oil, and to gradually depart from supporting unsustainable companies.

Eelko Bronkhorst, our managing director, introduced to CIMB Niaga’s staff the innovative end-to-end finance scheme developed by FACS, which aims at de-risking investment in oil palm smallholders, and highlighted some of the opportunities for blended-finance available in the Indonesian landscape.
