Hampshire Trust Bank’s purpose is to help improve the quality of housing in the UK. We’re proud of our specialism and aim to stimulate positive change in the UK savings and property markets.

Transitioning to a more environmentally and socially sustainable world is high on the agenda for banks. The property finance sector, us included, has a huge role to play in making this transition through the availability of funding of property projects.

\n

Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda is driven not only by our corporate values, but also by our customers, regulators, colleagues and investors. This is a multidimensional challenge and we see it as an opportunity.

\n

That’s why we’ve integrated ESG into every aspect of our strategy and decision making.
