Business Plan
Executive Summary
Since its launch, and up to the end of the Financial year 2024/25, the Bank has committed £784.8 million in investment, supporting 42 businesses and enabling over £1.4 billion in co-investment. In the last financial year, £145.1 million was committed, including targeted support for the offshore wind sector.
This year’s Business Plan builds on the outcomes set out previously and reiterates what the Bank aims to achieve by 2030, including measurable progress against its missions. As an impact investor, the Bank continues to refine how it can most efficiently deliver its goals, with performance and progress detailed in a separate Impact Report available on our website. Notably, income from investments has now covered operational costs for the second consecutive year—an important step toward financial self-sustainability. The Bank’s six strategic priorities remain unchanged, focusing on impact, delivery, partnerships, private sector mobilisation, financial resilience, and developing its people.

Business Plan Financial Year 2025-26
From our CEO’s Introduction
"The global and local context for the delivery of our plan is a changing one, and we will need to be flexible and adaptive in our approach. I believe our missions are as important as ever. The grand challenges which we were established to address - the climate crisis, community-level inequalities and poor productivity - remain."
'The Bank is demonstrating a growing track record of delivery against our strategic priorities. We are ambitious to build on this and to play a key role in transforming the economy in which we operate."
Al Denholm, CEO, Scottish National Investment Bank
