NatWest will provide £1bn in lending to help the UK's manufacturing sector transition to cleaner, more sustainable operations to reach the nation's net-zero target. The funding will be available until 2030 for companies that meet NatWest's criteria for net-zero emissions by 2050. The bank's pledge is part of its larger commitment to provide £100bn for climate and sustainable funding and financing by the end of 2025. Manufacturing is responsible for over 60% of direct industrial emissions in the UK, and this funding will be crucial to reducing the sector's carbon footprint.
