About Hill Stone Wood

HSW is a new venture backed by DEFRA and the EA targeting new ways to drive investment into nature. As an early-stage business the website is required to allow us to refer clients and partners to a small amount of information about us and our business model.

The Situation

The UK Nature Report revealed a minimum of £44 billion to £97 billion in investment above current public sector commitments is required for the UK to meet nature-related outcomes in the next ten years with a central estimate of £56 billion. The largest finance gap regionally lies within England, followed by Scotland, while the largest gap with regards to outcomes are found within climate mitigation through bio-carbon and the protection and/or restoration of biodiversity.

The Solution

Green financial services selling everyday products that diverts profits into nature restorations and climate mitigation programmes in local areas and monitors the impact.

Over the next decade our new financial model could result in £100m plus being invested in the returning to nature in the UK.

Financial Services are generally treated as a necessary evil by most people but they could be turned into a valuable environmental asset.

Providing members and their communities with more power to improve their natural environment and to tackle climate change 

Our Mission

To enable individuals, businesses and communities to divert existing spend to benefit local people and their natural environment.
