  • Sustainable trade financing

    Here for your sustainable banking needs

    Sustainability is important to you and to us. It’s why we bring you sustainability-linked financing solutions.

A challenge we can help you meet

Sustainability is firmly on the business agenda – but to achieve sustainability is easier said than done.

Taking sustainability beyond the physical supply chain to include financing is why we’ve developed our sustainability-linked financing solutions, underpinned by certification ranging from Fairtrade Bonsucro to USDA Organic and validated by Sustainalytics, a global leader in ESG and Corporate Governance. We’ve also built the Loan Market Association’s Green and Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles into our trade financing framework.

We are committed to delivering sustainable and responsible banking, and want to help you to be truly sustainable.
