Triodos Bank UK believes that money is not neutral and should be used as a force for positive change. It lends exclusively to organisations in the real economy that contribute to positive social, environmental and cultural change — spanning renewable energy, organic farming, nature-based solutions, social housing, healthcare, education, arts and culture, and social enterprises. The bank's mission is to enable and accelerate five interlinked transitions (food, resource, energy, society and wellbeing), financing only those organisations that put people and planet alongside financial sustainability. Triodos also offers corporate finance advisory and crowdfunding services to help impact-led organisations raise capital from a broad community of values-aligned investors, having raised over £200m for more than 60 impactful organisations since inception.
Notable quotes
“Over the past 30 years, Triodos has shown time and time again that where you bank matters. As too many banks scale back on sustainability commitments, at Triodos we remain committed to using the power of finance for good. Now more than ever, we urgently need finance to flow towards supporting resilient, healthy communities, and enabling our planet to thrive.”
“It's a way to engage with people more broadly and hopefully get them to understand what their money could be doing while it's on deposit at their bank or in a savings account.”
“At Triodos Bank, we have a long track record of financing social entrepreneurship. The past agreements with the EIF have already shown that public and private partnerships can fuel the much needed transitions towards a better and more sustainable world.”
