Environment Protection: Investment

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what role UK Export Financing plays in supporting British firms with environmental credit investments.

Answered by Chris Bryant

UK Export Finance (UKEF) has not supported any environmental credit investments to date.

UKEF supports clean growth exports and has included a clean growth and transition objective in its Business Plan for 2024-2029, which will seek to position UK exporters and suppliers at the heart of the global low‑carbon transition. In support of this, UKEF aims to provide £10 billion of clean growth finance to accelerate the UK’s green export sector by 2029.
