The Government is grateful to the Green Investment Bank (GIB) Board for the considered views it has provided throughout the GIB sale. All decisions taken in regard to the sale of GIB are for Ministers alone.

As shareholder, Government works closely with the GIB Board to ensure the business operates to high standards of corporate governance at all times.
