Triodos

Did you know that Triodos was the first bank to finance a wind turbine back in 1985? 🌬️

And that in 2015 Triodos collaborated on the development of the PCAF standard, which helps financial institutions to map the climate impact of their loans and investments? 🌱

Triodos aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2035 at the latest through the 'As One to Zero' programme.

For both its loans and its investment funds, the ethical bank supports the most ambitious scenario of the Paris Climate Agreement: limiting global warming to 1.5°C. 🌍

Every year, Triodos helps more than 80,000 customers and organisations in Belgium, and around 750,000 at the European level, to finance their ethical and social projects.

Think of non-profit organisations, schools, hospitals, residential care centres, local businesses and many other initiatives that aim to have a positive impact. 💚

The building in which the Triodos team is located has a BREEAM certification, an international sustainability standard for buildings and their environment. 🏢🌿

The best part of all? It achieved the 'Outstanding' rating, the highest recognition within the BREEAM system, thanks to the building's excellent sustainability performance.

"What positive impact can we create?" The Triodos team regularly asks itself that question.

The result? Collection campaigns for various charities, vegetarian catering, Fairtrade coffee (and chocolate!), a circular move and a Diversity & Inclusion committee. Sustainability is ingrained down to the smallest details! 🌱💚

Some more impressive figures? Triodos contributes to the production of 29.5 million organic meals annually and helped finance 611 renewable energy projects, representing a total production capacity of 9,100 megawatts! 🌱⚡
