Together, we’ll identify your sustainable finance priorities, then co-create tailored solutions that help you reach your goals with confidence and clarity.

How we could support your business

From global banks and asset managers to insurers and specialty finance firms, our experience spans the diverse spectrum of non-bank financial institutions. You’ll find in us a collaborative partner dedicated to understanding the nuances of your organisation and delivering the sustainable finance strategies you need to move forward.

No matter where you stand in your climate and sustainability journey, our specialist team is ready to help. Headquartered in London with colleagues across Europe and India, we combine international reach with on‑the‑ground insights. We offer support across the full spectrum of financing and risk management solutions – whether you’re integrating purpose-driven sustainability into your business model, seeking ESG ratings guidance, or enhancing investor engagement around your transition strategy. We work alongside you to design and execute tailored sustainable finance frameworks and products, strengthen your balance sheet, and manage climate-related and societal risks with confidence.

As part of NatWest Group, we’re deeply aligned with the bank’s broader sustainability initiatives – drawing on group-wide expertise in areas like climate transition planning, financial inclusion, and data innovation. Through the last five years, we’ve constantly refined our approach as the sustainability landscape evolves, bringing you fresh insights from across sectors and geographies. Our aim is to be your trusted partner from initial strategy development, to execution of sustainable financings, and through ongoing updates – always helping you stay ahead of the curve and aligned with market best practices.

Our financial institution solutions

We could help with the design, structure and execution of following products and support with additional advisory services.

Framework structuring and ‘use of proceed’-labelled debt

Looking to structure a sustainability-labelled debt framework? We’re here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re considering green, social, or sustainability (GSS) and EU Green bond standard bonds, as well as transition bonds and loans, our team can support you from the initial framework to final execution.

We’ll help you prepare clear allocation and impact reports, and offer practical advice rooted in trusted market standards – so you can move forward with confidence.

Sustainability-linked products

Discover how you can seamlessly integrate sustainability principles into your financial strategies with our sustainability-linked products. By connecting your contracts’ cash flows directly to your progress on key KPI targets, you gain flexibility and accountability across a range of solutions – including derivatives such as FX forwards, sustainability-linked bonds and loans, expanding to sustainability-linked loan bonds (SLLBs), as well as transaction banking services.

We’re here as your partner to help build a more sustainable future, supporting your goals every step of the way.

From managing your ratings to identifying areas for improvement, our guidance helps you make informed decisions and strengthen your sustainability profile with confidence.

Sustainable finance reporting and disclosure

Looking to enhance your sustainable finance reporting and disclosures? We’re here to help you navigate the evolving landscape of ESG reporting requirements. Our team works alongside you to optimise your disclosures—such as Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), and credible climate transition plans—drawing on in-depth analysis of stakeholder expectations and industry benchmarks.

You can rely on us as your trusted partner, making sure your reporting not only meets regulatory standards, but also strengthens your organisation’s reputation with investors, customers, and the wider community.
