Green Financing

Funding with environmental integrity

Our approach unites green finance, ESG leadership and forward‑thinking design to deliver developments that perform responsibly today and build resilience for tomorrow.

Quintain’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond design and construction; it is embedded in the way we finance and deliver long‑term regeneration. Our £128.7 million green loan, secured with Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking to refinance The Robinson, demonstrates how financial innovation can accelerate our environmental and social ambitions across Wembley Park.

 

As a flagship Build‑to‑Rent development, The Robinson was certified eligible for green loan status based on its energy performance, placing it among the top 15% of residential assets in the UK. This certification aligns with the Green Loan Principles and reinforces our pledge to create low‑carbon, high‑quality homes across our estate. The scheme contributes 458 rental homes, including 63 affordable units, further supporting local housing needs.

 

Green financing also strengthens our wider ESG strategy. The refinancing enhances debt efficiency while supporting our pathway to Net Zero Carbon by 2040 and alignment with the Paris Agreement’s ≤1.5ºC trajectory. Our approach includes transparent Scope 1–3 carbon reporting and active engagement with the Science Based Targets initiative, ensuring our commitments are measurable, credible and externally validated.

 

Most importantly, this financial framework supports developments that integrate community infrastructure, such as the largest NHS GP surgery in the borough, alongside new homes and high‑quality public realm. By aligning capital with purpose, we are setting a benchmark for ESG‑led regeneration within the UK property sector.
