About the report

3Ci formed a Taskforce of investors to consider the investment case for an innovative financing model for retrofitting housing – Net Zero Neighbourhoods (“NZNs”) – set out in an Outline Business Case developed by 3Ci to HMT Green Book standard, and to provide feedback and insight.

The Taskforce included bankers, insurers, pension funds, venture capitalists, and impact investors. The Taskforce first met in June 2023 and held three Evidence Sessions considering different sectors. This report outlines the findings from those Evidence Sessions and our proposed next steps.

The Taskforce is chaired by Catherine McGuinness CBE, Connected Places Catapult Non-Executive Director and former Policy Chair at the City of London Corporation.
