Triodos Bank UK – Wellbeing Team
Triodos Bank UK’s Wellbeing team is redefining what finance can achieve when purpose leads. The success of a transaction is measured not only in loan amount, but in stability, dignity and the day-to-day lives made better.
Specialising in health and social care, the team partners with organisations supporting adults and children with complex needs – from residential and nursing care homes to therapeutic children’s services and residential family centres – guided by the bank’s 30+ year commitment to values-based lending.
In 2025 alone, the team approved over £300m in new lending, supporting 81 care homes and more than 3,000 residents. Behind every facility is a community: residents, families, care teams and local services that need the reassurance of a long-term partner.
The team evolves its lending criteria to reflect day-to-day operational realities across the sector, shaped by real conversations with the people they support.

QNB Türkiye – Pioneering Sustainable Finance in Türkiye
At QNB Türkiye (QNB), we believe that sustainable finance is the most fundamental way to support national and global sustainable development goals. As a result of this approach, we committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, covering operational and financed emissions. We aim to facilitate compliance with evolving net-zero pathways, enable sector-specific decarbonization, and provide transparent reporting to track environmental and social outcomes. In 2025, QNB marked a series of significant milestones in sustainable finance. The bank became the first in Türkiye to sign a sustainability-linked syndicated loan structured exclusively with 2- and 3-year tenor tranches. In parallel, QNB issued a Climate Transition Bond(CTB) in collaboration with IFC, marking the first-ever issuance of a CTB by a financial institution globally and also IFC’s first-ever investment in transition financing. Moreover, QNB launched a triple-impact sustainable bond with the EBRD, aligned with the ICMA principles, underscoring QNB’s focus on sustainable finance.
