Saham Bank helps businesses pay for green projects Saham Bank has started a new programme to help businesses pay for projects that cut energy use and carbon emissions. The bank launched its “Green by Saham Bank” campaign at its Business Center in Aïn Sebaâ, Casablanca. The programme will include advisory sessions for companies looking to invest in cleaner energy and technology.
Businesses can get help with planning, financing and finding available grants and incentives. These incentives can cover 10% to 15% of a project’s total investment, according to the bank.
“Our objective is to support companies in their decarbonization efforts and strengthen their competitiveness against international market requirements,” the bank said.
The programme is backed by a €55m green financing package secured from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in July 2025.
The funding comes through the EBRD’s Green Economy Financing Facility (GEFF) Plus and an EU-backed programme focused on decarbonisation and climate resilience.
The package also includes €6.25m from the Green Climate Fund and €2.4m from Canada through the High-Impact Partnership on Climate Action.
The money is available to small and medium-sized businesses, mid-sized companies and larger industrial firms. It can support projects such as energy-efficiency upgrades, renewable energy systems and other clean technologies.
Companies can also receive technical support to help plan and carry out their projects.
The push comes as exporters face tighter environmental rules in overseas markets.
The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is putting more pressure on companies that sell carbon-intensive products to Europe to track and reduce their emissions.
Industries such as automotive components, textiles and food processing could face higher costs if they do not cut emissions.
The country also aims to have renewable energy account for 52% of its total installed electricity capacity by 2030.
The Aïn Sebaâ event is the first stop in Saham Bank’s “Accelerator Days” campaign. More sessions are expected to help businesses understand how they can finance their energy-transition projects.
