Our take
Tackling the climate crisis requires a belief that large systemic changes can be made, with the determination to make them happen fast. Field wants to drive this change and is setting out to do so by financing, building, and operating renewable energy infrastructures.
The journey begins with energy storage, and Field is already making strides with a growing portfolio of batteries in the UK. These will store renewable energy for when it's most needed, creating a flexible, reliable, and green grid.
But this is just the start. Field's long-term vision is even bolder - becoming the UK's top energy storage player, expanding globally, and diving into cutting-edge renewable technologies that will shape the future of energy.

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.
