Empowering Sustainable Home Upgrades: Insights from the Nesta Report 

With our recent Report revealing that UK homes are responsible for 21% of the country’s carbon emissions, it is crucial to take action and support homeowners in reducing their carbon footprint. Recognizing this need, the Development Bank of Wales collaborated with Nesta, an innovation agency for social good, to commission a report that explores the drivers and barriers for homeowners when it comes to making green home upgrades. This report highlights the urgency for accessible financing options and introduces Lendology as a key player in driving sustainable solutions. 

The Nesta report brings to light both positive factors and barriers associated with homeowners’ green home upgrades. It emphasizes the potential for significant environmental impact through these upgrades, but also sheds light on the challenges homeowners face in accessing affordable financing for such projects.  Read the full report here for the full findings.
