Our take
Tackling the climate crisis requires belief that large systemic changes can be made, with the determination to make them happen fast. Field wants to drive this change. The company will finance, build and operate renewable energy infrastructure.
They are starting with energy storage, with a portfolio of batteries in the UK, which will allow them to store renewable energy for when it's needed, creating a reliable, flexible and green grid. Longer term, they have ambitious plans to become the leading energy storage player in the UK over the next few years, expand internationally and move into more nascent renewable technologies.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Field
Rachael Leinster (Talent Acquisition Manager)
- Giving everyone a fair and equal chance at employment is important to us at Field, and we feel a diverse workplace is a better workplace! But we want to make certain that we are practicing what we preach, and there are no biases creeping in to prevent us from building a rich and diverse workforce; so all applicants receive an DE&I questionnaire to complete (if they are comfortable doing so) upon applying for any roles at Field so we can view this in aggregate and ensure no unconscious biases are clouding our process.
