PandanGreen Information

Climate change severely impacts vulnerable communities in developing countries. Climate finance to alleviate these impacts is negligible, with needs 5 to 10 times greater than current flows. Much-needed private sector funding stands at 2% of current flows and needs to grow significantly. Staffed by a leadership team in climate, financial markets and operations, Pandan uses a blended finance structure to DE-RISK private investments and bring large-scale private-sector climate finance to vulnerable communities, especially women in developing countries that are worst hit by climate change. Investing through Pandan's structure is a game-changer that impacts all SDGs. It empowers vulnerable communities and women to adapt to climate change and safeguard their livelihoods, paving the way for a sustainable future. On top of that, it offers a risk-adjusted return on investment, ensuring financial viability for institutional investors. Pandan works through Inclusive Financial Institutions (IFIs) that reach the most vulnerable communities in Least-Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Asia-Pacific region. It facilitates green gender-inclusive lending to IFIs that on-lend to mostly women-led smallholder farmers, agricultural cooperatives, households, or micro-enterprises for their investments in climate-smart solutions, services, and business models reflected in countries' National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and national priorities. Pandan is fully aligned with the most recent regulation on climate finance and sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector. It ensures compliance with the best international standards for capturing and reporting impacts and thus provides investors, alongside adequate returns, a clear and transparent path to impact across the SDGs.
