Canefin

Canefin's mission is to reduce the cost of credit to achieve Net Zero. Private finance has a crucial role to play in our transition to Net Zero. However, many green finance products accessible to individuals or SMEs are not fit for purpose - lenders cannot quantify the carbon impact of the loans they make, and do not price in incentives to encourage action. Canefin is a new lender that changes this. Starting by helping homeowners spread the cost of their home energy efficiency improvements, we measure the carbon emission impact of each loan we make, and use the proceeds from the sale of carbon credits to reduce the loan APR, making it cheaper and easier for homeowners to decarbonise their homes.
