What we stand for

Banking to make a positive impact

We believe that everyone should have equal rights and the freedom to pursue their personal development and economic interests, while taking responsibility for the consequences of their actions on society and the planet.

Triodos Bank exists to help individuals, organisations and businesses achieve this sometimes difficult balance.

People, planet and profit

Our approach is based on the fundamental belief that economic activity can and should have a positive impact on society, the environment and culture. We value people, planet and profit - and take all three into account in everything we do.

We call this sustainable banking. And it explains why we only lend to and invest in organisations that contribute to a more sustainable society.

Our values: a firm foundation

As a bank dedicated to making a positive impact on the world, we have four key values that encapsulate what is important to us, and provide a firm foundation on which to build our business:

Sustainability

We only finance activities that actively benefit people, the environment or culture.

Transparency

We strongly believe depositors should know where their money goes .

Excellence

As a bank, we want our products and services to be among the best in our industry.

Entrepreneurship

We’re constantly working to develop innovative new ways to finance sustainable sectors and the entrepreneurs leading them.
