How we can help you with sustainable finance


UK farmers face major challenges that threaten net zero goals, the economy, and future food security. Our Clean Growth Financing Initiative and Green Asset Finance can support energy-efficient upgrades and regenerative practices.

Energy efficient equipment

Improve your processes with funding for equipment or machinery that improves energy efficiency by 50%. For example, farm equipment, milking parlours and robotics.

Renewables

Generate green energy for your own use or to export to the grid, with funding for solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, wind, hydropower, biomass, geothermal and energy storage.

Energy efficient buildings

Ensure the energy efficiency of your buildings by either building new, retrofitting existing buildings to improve EPC rating, or acquiring/refinancing buildings that are already energy efficient.

Environmental schemes

Schemes that help with regenerative farming or biodiversity; for example, countryside stewardship, protection and infrastructure, and woodland management.

Water management

Activities that improve water conservation or use, such as rain water harvesting, irrigation systems, drainage and hydroponics.

Waste management

Activities that reduce waste or improve recycling, for example, anaerobic digestion, slurry management and storage.
