The HSBC Sustainable Farming Pathway
LEAF have teamed up with HSBC UK to help farmers transition to more sustainable farming practices by offering access to discounted loan arrangement fees linked to LEAF Marque certification.
The HSBC Sustainable Farming Pathway
We are delighted to be partnering with HSBC UK to help farmers transition to more sustainable, nature-based farming practices.
The HSBC Sustainable Farming Pathway enables LEAF Marque certified farms or farm businesses in the process of applying for certification, to access discounted loan arrangement fees when applying for applicable products.
How the HSBC Sustainable Farming Pathway works
The HSBC Sustainable Farming Pathway is for farmers who have attained LEAF Marque certification.
Farmers still in the process of preparing for certification can also access the HSBC Sustainable Farming Pathway upon completion of the LEAF Sustainable Farming Review (LSFR). They'll then be eligible for discounted loan arrangement fees within 12 months of completing the LSFR. After this period, farm businesses will need to attain LEAF Marque certification to continue to be eligible for the discounted loan arrangement fees.
What does the HSBC Sustainable Farming Pathway offer?
Eligible farm businesses can access discounted loan arrangement fees on applicable products on amounts between £25,001 and £25m. Lending is subject to credit status.
What products are eligible for the HSBC Sustainable Farming Pathway?
Applicable products are:
- Flexible Business Loan
- Commercial Mortgage
- Property Development Loan
What can the funds be used for?
Funds can be used for any corporate purpose. The HSBC Sustainable Farming Pathway does not require evidence of use of proceeds.
