About us
We offer Climate and ESG solutions and advice to guide SSAs through the development and implementation of their sustainable finance strategies, to successfully address environmental and societal challenges.
We are a specialist team with capabilities in ESG advisory and sustainable finance for SSAs, including local governments, and we support our customers across the full spectrum of financing solutions. SSAs play an integral role in mitigating climate change and ensuring a just transition, given the social impact on communities.
Our capabilities extend to both the public and private space across the GBP, EUR and USD markets. We help our customers further embed sustainability considerations into their strategies, develop their sustainable financing capabilities, and connect with the global community of ESG investors. We also advise our customers on improving their ESG ratings and sustainability performance and navigating an increasingly complex ESG policy and regulatory landscape.

Federal Republic of Germany
Federal Republic of Germany
We supported the first 5-year Green Federal Note ever syndicated by Germany, which was at the time the largest Sovereign Green bond issued in 2022 and one of the few sovereigns providing 5-year Green Bonds. This transaction marked NatWest’s first syndication for the German Sovereign and is the result of strong collaboration throughout NatWest Sales trading, syndication and DCM.
