The energy transition is a team effort. At Rabobank that belief shapes how we work. Real progress is rarely made alone, which is why our role is to invest in joint solutions that benefit everyone involved: our clients, their communities and the world around them. That is what we mean when we talk about growing a better world together.

At Rabobank, feeding a growing world is the kind of challenge we are built for. We have worked alongside the food and agriculture sector for over 125 years, and as a cooperative bank we put that experience to work helping clients build towards a future-proof food system. It is something we do it together. Discover how we're growing a better world together with our clients and partners.

In food and agriculture, the companies that lead are the ones who see change coming. That is hard to do from inside a single part of the chain, so at Rabobank we watch the whole food system and turn our sector knowledge into insight our clients can act on, helping them get ahead of risk rather than chase it. Leading a market is simply easier alongside a partner who can see it clearly.

Critical infrastructure has a vital role to play in the energy transition. For Nordic Ferry Infrastructure (NFI), electrifying its fleet is central to its ambition to reach net zero by 2040. Together with Rabobank W&R, NFI is investing in zero emission technology, combining industry expertise and financing to turn ambitious sustainability goals into reality. Watch how we’re working together to drive the transition.

In parts of food and agriculture, the most significant moves can happen quietly. It can be in seeds, genetics and the science of better yields. It is research-intensive work, and the companies at the forefront of it increasingly operate across borders. Which is why following a single sector this closely, across dozens of countries, matters. That focus is what allows our corporate finance team to notice those shifts early and bring the right parties together at the right moment. That is why, at Rabobank, the value lies less in size than in how closely we know this one sector.

Electrifying a major ferry route takes more than replacing vessels. For Nordic Ferry Infrastructure (NFI), it means developing substantial battery capacity and 55 MW of high speed charging infrastructure at an unprecedented scale. We are supporting this ambitious transition with financing and sector expertise, helping NFI take a major step towards decarbonising maritime transport. Discover the story behind the investment.
