Ethical Banking
Financial corporations make a lot of money. They also get bailed out by Governments when they stuff up. Our economies rely on them.
Our questions are simply whether these institutions are doing enough for the climate, for human rights, and for equality.
There’s a certain kind of greenwashing going on with some banks and financial institutions. So called ‘ethical funds’ don’t invest in weapons, tobacco and more recently fossil fuels. However we question if these funds are doing anything beneficial such as encouraging green technology, renewable energy and equality.
Join us on our journey into ethical banking.
