Virgin Money has had a long-established partnership with Future-Fit – from adapting the Business Benchmark into the Sustainable Business Coach, creating the first digital version of the coach and using the methodology to make Sustainability-Linked Loans available for medium sized enterprises.
As sustainability becomes further entrenched in our strategic direction as part of Nationwide Building Society, developing colleague expertise on this topic is a complementary component of being a beacon for mutual good as the UK’s first full-service building society.
Therefore, developing knowledge and expertise in the Future-Fit Business Benchmark and its Accredited Advisor program is a natural progression. Our ambition is to use the capability to engage mid-sized and corporate businesses we finance, and work in tandem to understand their decarbonisation plans and use Future-Fit thinking to explore steps they can consider across their priority Break-Even Goals.
