The Triodos Corporate Finance team places charities, social enterprises and environmental projects directly in contact with investors in order to raise finance, and has reported that it has raised over £17 million in 2015. This sum was raised for 11 organisations delivering a wide range of positive impacts: alleviating youth homelessness, providing work for ex-offenders, housing people with a learning disability, engaging young people in education and creating clean electricity. The 2015 figure brings the total capital raised on behalf of clients in the last five years to £72 million.
Dan Hird, Head of Corporate Finance said: “Triodos Bank is all about inspiring people to use money positively so we are delighted to have attracted investment in our corporate finance deals from 20 different institutional investors and over 2,000 individual social investors.”
In addition to a successful year, one client has taken a prestigious prize. Career Connect, who provide training and education for young people in Merseyside, and who were advised by the Corporate Finance team on both the Triodos New Horizons and Unlocking Potential social impact bonds, won Best Social Investment Initiative at the Charity Times Awards in 2015.
