Sustainability

We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and to making a positive contribution to the communities in which we live and work.

Supporting environmental developments

We welcome enquiries from clients seeking finance and guidance for Passive House developments and other environmentally-friendly home and renewable energy initiatives. We also offer finance for environmental projects such as forestation and peatland restoration.

Learn more about the special arrangements we can offer for Passive House certified developments.

Contact us to discuss your project with one of our bankers.

Hampden & Co in the Community

We are proud to support two charities that make a real impact on the welfare of our local communities.

Fields in Trust

Fields In Trust’s impact is unique and long term. Working side-by-side with landowners, they legally protect individual parks and green spaces, ensuring they can never be sold for development.

By harnessing the power of parks and green spaces, they support a happier, healthier and greener future for everyone.

MyBnk

We recognise the value and importance of financial literacy. Empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills to manage their finances responsibly is crucial for long-term personal well-being.

MyBnk uses their expertise to build young people’s money knowledge, skills, mindsets and habits at key transitional moments. Much of their work supports young adults in vulnerable circumstances by focusing on ‘survival’ money skills for independent living.

MyBnk creates and delivers innovative, high-impact and high-energy financial education programmes that equip young people with the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex financial landscape.

Reducing our carbon footprint

As well as supporting clients with their environmental projects, here are some of the ways we are reducing our carbon footprint:

Energy

100% of the energy we use in our largest office is from renewable sources.

Travel

To reduce the amount we travel for business, we are making greater use of video conferencing capabilities. We also provide our staff with ‘cycle to work’ and electric vehicle leasing schemes.

Paper

The paper we use is from fully sustainable sources and we provide digital banking to offer clients paperless statements.

Waste

We separate our waste which is then either recycled or turned into energy.
