We finance entrepreneurs running sustainable Small and Medium Sized Enterprises, driving a genuinely sustainable economy.

Why we finance retail businesses

Entrepreneurs running sustainable small and medium-sized businesses are key to a sustainable economy. Looking beyond profit, their businesses value people and the environment, respect the producers of their goods, and the environmental cost of creating them. The kinds of businesses we finance in this sector include sustainable clothing, furniture and book shops.
