Getting down to Business ⭐ Virgin Money Sustainability and Business team have been out and about visiting our Agriculture customers to understand how they are using innovation to deliver a sustainable sector. From robotics to crop rotations, the team heard about the innovative ways in which our customers are delivering on their ESG goals  💪 Brian Richardson, our Head of Agriculture said “our Agricultural team are focused on supporting the farming sector through the transition that is going on in the sector towards Net Zero and the wider ESG Agenda.
