Sansiri, SCB Launch 2 Billion Baht Sustainable Financing for SMEs

Two giants, Sansiri and Siam Commercial Bank, have opened a platform to unite the real estate supply chain and accelerate growth through "Sustainable Financing" with over 2 billion baht in support from SCB. On October 20, 2026, Sansiri Public Company Limited, together with Siam Commercial Bank, organized the event "Synergy for SME Sustainable Success: Uniting Forces, Driving SMEs for Sustainable Success" at Siripark Campus. The aim is to elevate the capabilities of entrepreneurs in the supply chain of Thailand's real estate industry.

The event was honored by former Prime Minister and Sansiri co-founder Srettha Thavisin, who gave a special keynote on the changes, challenges, and opportunities facing the business sector. He stated, "Sansiri has had a long-standing good relationship with Siam Commercial Bank. SCB has provided financial support continuously for over 20 years, both during crises and growth periods.

Finally, responsibility to support each other's survival is undeniable; if small players in the system stumble, large ones cannot stand firm either. The duty of leaders and large organizations is not just to move forward as fast as possible, but to reach out and support partners to overcome challenges and grow strongly together. Simultaneously, adapting, relying on oneself in every situation, continuously developing, staying flexible, and seeking opportunities amid crisis are essential.

SCB CEO Sarut Ratanaporn revealed the vision of partnership to strengthen the supply chain, noting that the business world is rapidly changing due to digital technology, AI applications, shifting consumer behavior, and increasing sustainability standards. This forces entrepreneurs, especially SMEs in the supply chain, to accelerate adaptation to maintain competitiveness and create long-term growth. This aligns with key global discussions on upskilling entrepreneurs: using AI to boost productivity, building resilience through sustainability, and expanding access to funding.
