A Case Study Series

Building Better Banks

The Building Better Banks case study series documents how purpose-driven financial institutions generate extraordinary value for all stakeholders by embedding social and environmental impact within their strategic planning and operational practices. With these inspirational stories, we hope bankers will be energized to bring similar approaches to their institutions. We stand ready to support your organization’s continued evolution toward a business model that helps your employees, customers, community, and our planet thrive.

Note:

Environmental stewardship is of the utmost importance for financial institutions. ESG practices focused on sustainability, however, become ineffective when those same financial institutions continue to finance fossil fuels. We encourage all financial institutions who care about the environment to fully divest from fossil fuels and other extractive industries. Learn more about our Do No Harm policies.
