Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) has closed its first sustainable trade asset finance transactions in the Philippines, partnering with renewable energy leaders San Miguel Global Power and SN Aboitiz.
The deals mark a key step in MUFG’s strategy to support sustainable infrastructure in Southeast Asia, providing financing that promotes renewable energy projects. By backing major energy players, the transactions are expected to accelerate the Philippines’ transition toward cleaner energy sources, aligning with both corporate sustainability goals and national energy policy.
Commercially, these deals strengthen MUFG’s presence in the Philippine market while demonstrating the bank’s ability to structure trade finance products with an environmental focus. For San Miguel Global Power and SN Aboitiz, the financing provides access to capital that enables expansion of renewable energy capacity, supporting long-term business growth and sustainability leadership in the region.
MUFG’s initiative reflects a broader trend in global finance where banks are increasingly linking trade and project finance to sustainability criteria, creating opportunities for investors, lenders, and corporates to meet environmental targets while pursuing commercial returns.
