Overview - Triodos Bank is a sustainable bank, which means we use the power of finance to support projects and organisations that are good for people and the planet. We are proud to call Bristol our home and to be a member of Business West, a fellow B Corp. We opened our UK head office in Bristol in 1995 and now reside in one of the city’s greenest office spaces on Deanery Road near College Green. Founded in 1980, we’re a global leader in sustainable banking, operating in the Netherlands, the UK, Belgium, Spain, and Germany. Our ethos is rooted in the belief that banking can be a powerful force for good, serving individuals and communities while fostering a more sustainable society. Banking Services - We offer a comprehensive suite of everyday ethical banking services for individuals - this includes current accounts, savings accounts, and Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs). We offer lending and capital raising services for businesses and charities. Our Work - The West of England is a hotbed of people and organisations that challenge the status quo and put their passions into action. We are excited to be part of Business West and taking steps towards making the region the best that it can be. The specialist finance we provide is already helping to make a real difference across Bristol. Here in the city, we have supported the likes of Southville Community Centre, the Soil Association, Bristol Energy Cooperative, Better Food, the Trinity Centre, St George’s and many more. This is all part of our commitment to only work with companies that create social, environmental and cultural value – ranging from charities, community schemes and social housing providers, to organic farmers and renewable energy projects. We are totally transparent, publishing the details of every loan we make on our website. So any customer with one of our ethical online saving and investment options really knows where their money is going. Recognition and Awards - Triodos has received numerous accolades, including the Which? Eco Provider badge for our current account, and winning ‘Best Ethical Financial Provider’ at the British Bank Awards in 2024. We’ve also been named that ‘Most Active Clean Energy Lead Arranger’ by Clean Energy Pipeline. Sustainability Commitment - Triodos is committed to supporting a low-carbon, climate-friendly future in line with the Paris Agreement. We have £20.1 billion in assets under management directed towards positive impact. We influence the financial sector nationally and internationally to make money work for positive change and strengthen the change finance movement. This included developing the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF).
