Barclays Corporate Banking has announced the launch of its Sustainable Residential Development Framework, designed collaboratively with CBRE Environmental Consulting Group to help support the financing, monitoring, data collection and delivery of green residential development loans.

The framework ties in closely with Barclays existing green term Loan proposition and guides eligible clients to make sustainable choices. The framework sets out minimum standards, signposts what more can be done to achieve a deeper 'green' and recognises the positive impact that developers can have in the communities in which they operate through a social impact score. Eligible schemes that go further than the minimum criteria can achieve a rating of 'good', innovative' or 'emerald', awarded at practical completion of the development.
