Triodos Corporate Finance Raises £17 Million in 2015
Blue & Green Tomorrow
Triodos Corporate Finance has raised over £17 million in 2015 for 11 organisations delivering a wide range of positive impact: alleviating youth homelessness, providing work for ex-offenders, housing people with a learning disability, engaging young people in education and creating clean electricity. This brings the total capital raised on behalf of clients in the last five years to £72 million.
The Triodos Corporate Finance team helps charities, social enterprises and environmental projects connect directly with investors in order to raise finance.
Two of these investments have received recognition within the third sector. The Aspire Gloucestershire social impact bond, which will help support 500 young homeless people over the next three years, was nominated for the Investment Deal of The Year award by Social Enterprise UK.
Meanwhile, Career Connect who the Corporate Finance team advised on both the Triodos New Horizons and Unlocking Potential social impact bonds have also been celebrated. They provide training and education for young people in Merseyside, and won Best Social Investment Initiative at the Charity Times Awards in 2015.
