Big news to share today. 🌽 We’ve just released new insights mapping how UK farming interacts with nature across millions of hectares. Why? As the UK’s largest lender to agriculture, we’re helping farmers build resilience and profitability by moving to more sustainable practices. Using Earth Blox geospatial data, we’ve identified where targeted support can make the biggest difference: 700,000 hectares for improved water management 🚿 1.2 million hectares perfect for habitat creation 🪲 600,000 hectares for tree and hedge planting 🌳 …and there’s more. Our new Agricultural Transition Finance loan launches soon.

What does home mean to you? We asked some of our newest grads and apprentices, and they’ve clearly joined the right place, because they all share our belief that everyone should have a safe and secure space to call home. That’s why we continue to work in partnership with Crisis and Simon Community Northern Ireland to call for one million more homes at social rent to be built in the next decade. Together, we can help end homelessness for good. #WorldHomelessDay

We’ve been named one of the Top 30 Employers for Working Families and we’re the only UK bank on the list! 🎉 We’re shaping finance as a force for good and that starts with how we treat our people. From Day 1, (yes, really!) we offer colleagues with all kinds of families the flexibility they need, to make sure they can balance work and life in a way that works for them. Here's just a few of the many things we’re proud of: 1. Family leave: including maternity, paternity, partner, adoption, and shared parental leave which apply equally to same-sex partners, surrogacy, foster-to-adopt, and kinship carers. 2. Our Flexibility Works approach which includes: Everyday Flexibility: whether it’s leaving early for a class, handling life admin, or dealing with a family emergency, we’ve got options that support real life. Flexible Summer: work from anywhere in the UK for up to 6 weeks during July and August. Compressed hours: including four-day weeks and nine-day fortnights, plus tailored support for new parents and carers. 3. Our Family Matters network & buddy support: a colleague led community supporting colleagues through all the ups and downs of family life. 4. Being the first UK bank to be accredited as a ‘Fertility Friendly employer’ by Fertility Matters at Work. This is more than policy. It’s a mindset. And it’s being lived every day through our fantastic colleagues who are helping deliver for our 28 million customers.

10 years of working with MTC. One shared goal: tackling the UK’s skills shortage. Over the past decade, our £10m sponsorship has supported the expansion of the MTC - Manufacturing Technology Centre training infrastructure and enabled the development of tailored programmes for apprentices, graduates, and engineers. It’s also helped MTC attract more diverse talent, including young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, into high-value manufacturing careers. And we’re not stopping. We’ve committed sponsorship to 2029, supporting MTC to close the skills gap and help UK businesses access the talent they need to thrive. #HelpingBritainProsper

It’s Black History Month and this October, we’re proud to celebrate with the powerful theme “Standing Firm in Power and Pride.” ✨ Yesterday we kicked things off in style with our Signature Event featuring none other than Shaun Wallace, aka The Dark Destroyer from ITV’s The Chase! Shaun came to talk to colleagues about his story which was nothing short of grit, excellence and chasing dreams. And of course, we had to ask Shaun to run a quiz in the style of The Chase! Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do, from our work with customers to our partnerships and communities. We’re committed to making sure everyone feels seen, heard and celebrated. 💚
