The €1 billion fund will be allocated as follows:

• Rabobank and DLL each receive €250 million in loan facilities from the European Investment Bank (EIB), which they match with their own funds to reach €500 million each.
• Rabobank will focus on projects in the Netherlands, with at least 40% of its financing dedicated to climate-relevant investments and the bioeconomy, including agriculture.
• DLL targets sustainability investments—especially circularity, food, and energy transitions—in multiple EU countries: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Poland, Ireland, and the Netherlands.

The Funding responsibility is shared between the European Investment Bank (EIB), Rabobank, and its subsidiary, DLL (De Lage Landen). The Rabo Impactlening instrument, which is part of this initiative, has been active since 2015, with this being its ninth iteration, and the time span is a multi-year roll-out 

The financial conditions are summarised as follows:
