As we mark our 30th anniversary this year, we can reveal that Triodos Bank UK has delivered a total of £2.5 billion in lending to projects generating transformative social and environmental impact across the country.

While our customers earn interest on their savings, we use the money deposited with us to finance projects that make a positive and lasting impact. So, it’s only thanks to the customers that choose to bank with us that we’re able to have reached this impressive total.

“Over the past 30 years, Triodos has proven that where you bank matters. At a time when too many banks are scaling back on sustainability commitments, Triodos remains committed to using the power of finance for good,” says Mark Clayton, CEO of Triodos Bank UK.Now more than ever, we urgently need finance to flow towards supporting resilient, healthy communities, and enabling our planet to thrive.

So… what does £2.5 billion of funding look like?

As well as environmental change, Triodos’s lending has supported social impact and championed inclusion and equality in communities across the UK.

This has ranged from social housing, charities and healthcare providers such as Riverford, Neal’s Yard and Cafédirect, to backing community projects such as Gympanzees – the UK’s first accessible play centre for children with disabilities – and Sea Lanes Brighton, the UK’s first open water swimming training centre. 

For 30 years, we’ve put £2.5 billion into financing innovative projects across transport, energy, nature, healthcare and much more. 

Triodos customers help us bring bold ideas to life

Reflecting on what we have achieved over the last 30 years in the UK, we feel incredible proud to have worked with trailblazing businesses and organisations delivering impact where it is needed most.

At a time where it feels the world is scaling back on its sustainability commitments, Triodos continues to be a global pioneer in ethical banking and using the power of finance to support projects that benefit people and the planet.

We look forward to growing this impact even further, alongside our community, in the years to come.
