ethical banks
Values-driven financial institutions
Ethical banks are financial institutions that prioritize social and environmental responsibility alongside profit.
They typically avoid investments in industries like fossil fuels, weapons, or tobacco, instead funding sustainable development, affordable housing, or community projects.
Customers choose ethical banks to align their money with their values: I switched to an ethical bank after learning where my old bank invested.
