A green environment is worth investing in
Nature, soil, air, and water determine their country’s liveability to a great extent. Living with greenery and nature promotes the health, safety and well-being of people, plants and animals – in both the city and rural areas. However, their society is facing a number of major social challenges, especially where the quality of their green living environment is concerned. Examples include climate adaptation and building a higher level of sustainability in agriculture, energy and the economy. They are in the middle of a transition that will ensure a more sustainable balance between economics and ecology (the conservation of nature, landscape and biodiversity, the quality of soil, water, air and biodiversity).
As a green investment fund, The Dutch National Fund for Green Investments passionately commits itself to this cause based on the belief that ‘green’ is worth investing in. The Fund gladly contributes to the realisation of green goals in the broadest sense of the word.
Their role is an active one and it is their belief that solutions can become more attainable through relatively small and practical innovations, also on a financial level. Acting on this vision, they develop innovative financing constructions and apply their expertise in the fields of green and money to ensure that ecology and economics are more strongly connected. Moreover, they facilitate the development of new nature and new greenery in a sound relationship with society and surroundings.
It is their ambition to be the obvious financial service provider for all parties committed to the green living environment – both as the partner financially shaping green policy and as the financier of green investments. The key focus of the Dutch National Fund for Green Investments is on a sustainable perspective. They take great pride in our significant contribution towards making the Netherlands more beautiful and green. With their expertise in finance and passion for green they connect parties, fast-track projects and provide new insights that benefit the green living environment.
The Dutch National Fund for Green Investments
Creator of financial connections for green versatility.
What they do
The Dutch National Fund for Green Investments is dedicated to making the Netherlands greener, providing services in the fields of financing, public support, advice and financial management. They are a socially engaged organisation and green investment institution aiming to contribute to improving the quantity and quality of their green living environment.
The Dutch National Fund for Green Investments develops financial instruments and bridges public and private means by breaking down (financial) barriers. In this way they enable the development and conservation of nature and landscape earlier and on a larger scale. Their unique combination of knowledge about green and about money fast-tracks projects, connects parties and provides insights that benefit the green living environment in its broadest sense: nature, landscape, air, water, biodiversity and experience.
Fast-tracking
A project with a quicker start or a reduced throughput time has a higher chance of success, which is why fast-tracking is important. In their core role as a financier they help to find projects a suitable funding to reduce not only financial, but also organisational and political risks.
Connecting
They're stronger together – whether it involves knowledge, experience or money. This is why they actively connect people with organisations, ideas with money, public with private and challenges with solutions, contributing their expertise as adviser and partner.
Innovating
The shift from sectorial to integral plans calls for an innovating approach in green financing. Using their expertise in the fields of money and green they take a refreshing outlook on processes and financial opportunities and they join interests and flows of money.
Gaining
The green sector should stand on its own feet, that is their motto. This is the only way green financing can be really sustainable. They therefore keep a sharp eye on the yields for people, animals and plants, as well as the financial yields. The parties to which their products and services are committed and the Dutch National Fund for Green Investments both are to benefit socially and financially.
They achieve this independently, reliably and professionally. Their approach is inspired, resourceful and connective, without aiming for profit maximisation. Their net return is added to their Revolving Fund, which once again provides fundings for green causes. This procedure makes them financially sustainable as well.
