Both domestically and internationally, Rabobank plays a leading role in project �nancing for wind and solar energy projects.
If a fund management company does not meet our criteria, we make a point of engaging them in a dialogue. That’s because we want to see them improve – and we actually help them achieve those improvements. Our support is subject to conditions: if we do not see improvement in the long term, we draw our conclusions. All new customers must always meet our criteria.
Rabobank Group has been climate-neutral since 2007 and reduced its footprint by 20% per FTE over the past �ve years.
