From human rights to animal welfare and the environment, our Ethical Policy gives our customers a say on the issues that matter to them. It covers all non-personal banking – i.e. all business loans, deposits and treasury dealings. The Policy Our unique Ethical Policy covers five key areas: Human Rights; International Development; Ecological Impact; Animal Welfare; and Social Enterprise. In line with our customers’ ethical concerns, we restrict finance to certain business sectors or activities, while at the same time committing to provide finance to those organisations making a positive community, social and environmental impact. How we're different We are still unique in being the only UK high-street bank to have a customer-led Ethical Policy. Our customers have had a say in what we do with their money since the launch of our first Ethical Policy in 1992. In celebration of our Ethical Policy, we've made an inspiring short film. Watch the film to find out about our Policy's heritage. If you are unable to view this video, you can View on youtube.
