Rabobank in the Netherlands opened up its Impact Loan programme for sustainable business projects. Rabobank wants to help its customers make their core process more sustainable by offering financial services and sharing knowledge and networks. To qualify for a 0.8 % discounted loan, companies need to demonstrate 'sustainable leadership' and have qualified for a recognised ecolabel or accreditation  (i.e. labels listed here).

The borrower can apply for an Impact Loan of between € 250 000 and € 1 million. They follow the same route as an application for a business loan: first they fill in information about their investment and their company, followed by a personal interview. During this meeting they can discuss the interest discount of the Impact Loan with the consultant.
