What we do
Private equity, with a sustainable difference
Private equity investment gives companies the capital they need to grow, and as an equity partner, the investor plays an active part in the business – usually adding value to the Board of Directors.
A 20 year track record
At Triodos Bank, we've been providing this valuable service to sustainable businesses since the mid-1990s. In total, we've managed investment portfolios and exits of around EUR 100 million, across Europe.
Investing for the long term
Conventional venture capital and private equity investment tends to focus primarily on short term returns - often at a cost to the wellbeing of stakeholders.
In contrast, we take a distinctively sustainable approach. Our private equity funds have been developed in line with Triodos Bank's overall mission, investing exclusively in businesses that make a positive social and environmental impact, in sectors such as clean energy, organic food and social enterprise.
People, planet . . . and profit
It's worth underlining, though, that we are by no means a "soft touch". We're fully responsible for protecting and growing the money our investors entrust to our management, so our funds only provide private equity for sustainable businesses with strong commercial potential.
