A better way to save


The ethical bank Triodos is one of the first banks allowing anyone, by just some simple clicks, to see who it is lending to and what they are doing with it. Triodos Bank listened well to calls for banks to be more transparent, especially in these times of global financial crisis. And the best part of it all has yet to come; Triodos only finances those that want to change the world for the better in a social, environmental or cultural way like organic farms, renewable energy ventures, recycling businesses and community cinemas. Charles Middleton, UK managing director, believes all banks should be obliged to follow the same path and expose their investments online.

... Triodos only finances those companies that want...

Well done
