Redwood Bank goes green with top environmental accreditation

Redwood Bank has been recognised for its continued commitment to sustainability after achieving the highest level of environmental accreditation under the Investors in the Environment (iiE) scheme.

The Bank has achieved the prestigious Green level, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing ESG journey and recognising sustained progress in embedding sustainability across its operations.

The iiE Green accreditation is awarded to organisations that demonstrate advanced environmental management and measurable impact, including progress towards net zero, biodiversity initiatives and wider social value creation. It represents the highest tier within the iiE framework, following bronze and silver. 

Alex John, senior manager executive operations and sustainability, said: “Achieving Green accreditation is a fantastic milestone for Redwood and reflects the collective effort of colleagues across the business over several years.

“This recognition is not just about environmental performance; it reflects how deeply sustainability has become embedded in the way we operate, from our internal processes through to our broader social impact ambitions.

“We’re incredibly proud of the work that has gone into reaching this point, and we remain focused on continuing to improve our environmental performance as part of our long-term commitment to responsible banking.”

iiE scheme is a national environmental accreditation programme that supports organisations in improving environmental performance through structured assessment, guidance and best practice sharing across industries. 

The achievement reflects contributions from colleagues across the Bank, including ESG and climate -change working groups and supporting finance and reporting teams who helped deliver detailed emissions analysis and audit evidence submissions.
