TRIODOS BANK
Hopefully this is old hat to everyone. But if not, what could be more inspiring than a bank which lends only to organisations which create real social, environmental and cultural value?
‘Each one is a practical and well-grounded initiative dedicated to social aims which benefit the community, care for the environment, respect human freedom and develop individual talents and capacities. As part of our commitment to transparency, our Project List shows all the activities we finance in the UK and Ireland at the time of printing. We publish details of all our lending because we believe you should be able to judge for yourself the claims we make about our ethical approach.’
And a very inspiring read it is, too.
Triodos offers a full range of services to businesses and charities, and a great range of savings accounts for personal banking.
Some accounts are targetted at a particular sector and support organisations championing it. The Earth Saver account is ‘a secure, flexible savings account for people who want to fight climate change’ which donates the equivalent of 0.25% of the average balance of funds held to Friends of the Earth. The Organic Saver benefits the Soil Association, and there are ones for the The Fairtrade Foundation, Wildlife Trusts, the World Development Movement, Quakers, Buddhists and more.
Minimum deposit £100. Everyone should have an account here, even if only for solidarity and the uplifting magazine!
