Celebrating Our Finalist Position for the Environmental and Sustainability Award!

We are thrilled to announce that Lendology CIC has been named a finalist for the Environmental and Sustainability Award at the prestigious Somerset Business Awards 2024! This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility. 

Our Commitment to Sustainability: 

At Lendology, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s ingrained in our DNA. From achieving carbon-neutral status to being certified as one of the first carbon-neutral lenders in the UK, we have set a high bar for ourselves. Our recent attainment of B Corp Status further solidifies our dedication to social and environmental responsibility. 

Aligned with Global Goals: 

Led by our CEO, Emma Lower, we have aligned our strategic vision with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring that every decision we make contributes to a more sustainable future. Whether it’s through our “Buy Local or Social” procurement policy or our focus on reducing carbon emissions, we are committed to making a positive impact on our environment and community. 

Supporting Homeowners and Beyond: 

Our efforts extend beyond our organisation as well. We actively support homeowners in reducing their carbon footprint by providing accessible finance for retrofit measures and renewable energy solutions. Additionally, we collaborate with external organisations like Carbon Neutral Britain to calculate and offset our carbon emissions, ensuring that our environmental claims are robust and credible. 

Why Lendology Deserves to Win: 

As finalists for the Environmental and Sustainability Award, we are proud to share our journey and the reasons why we believe Lendology deserves to win: 

• Recently awarded B Corp status: Verified by B Lab, we meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. 

• Launch of “Buy Local or Social” procurement policy: Our spending minimises environmental impact and supports fellow not-for-profit organisations. 

• Commitment to knowledge sharing: From offering internship placements to delivering workshops, we are passionate about sharing our sustainability journey. 

• Alignment with UN’s Sustainable Development Goals: Our strategic vision is in harmony with global sustainability objectives. 

• Support for local communities: We donate a portion of our trading profits to a local energy advice charity, demonstrating our commitment to tackling fuel poverty. 

• Track record of success: Recognised as winners in prestigious awards, including the NatWest SE100 Awards 2023. 

We are grateful for this recognition and are excited about the opportunity to showcase our commitment to sustainability at the Somerset Business Awards 2024. Stay tuned for updates on our journey and continued efforts to lead in sustainability within the finance and third sector!
