Green building society Ecology has been announced as the latest sustainable finance organisation to join the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV). This membership is regarded as a strong endorsement of Ecology’s social and environmental credentials and will see them extend their influence at the global level.
For GABV, the addition of Ecology further bolsters their position as a leading force in the drive for a more sustainable banking system. Ecology is the first UK-headquartered financial institution to join the membership organisation, while European bank Triodos gives further UK representation in the Alliance through its Bristol-based branch.
Ecology joins GABV at the same time as Paraguayan microfinance bank Vision Banco and Nepalese renewable energy specialists, Clean Energy Development Bank.
GABV is a membership organisation made up of the world’s leading sustainable banks from Asia, Africa, Australia, Latin America, North America and Europe.
