Abstract

This paper reviews developments in Supply Chain Finance (SCF) with a particular focus on its applications in fintech, sustainability, and risk management. It first defines the basic concept of SCF and discusses various financing models such as accounts receivable financing and prepayment financing. Subsequently, it focuses on how blockchain and big data technologies enhance the transparency and efficiency of SCF. Regarding sustainability, the paper discusses SCF models that promote environmental protection and social responsibility through financial incentives. Additionally, it examines risk management strategies in SCF, including how to identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks through technical tools and appropriate management measures. The conclusion emphasizes that with the global focus on Sustainable Development Goals, SCF will increasingly prioritize innovation and sustainability, requiring companies and financial institutions to adapt to new technological and market requirements while effectively managing various risks.
