The Co-operative Bank
The Co-operative Bank takes nature seriously.
The Co-operative Bank has a strict exclusions policy on factory farming and is the only UK high street bank with a customer-led ethical policy. It does not offer banking services to businesses that conflict with this ethical policy, such as those that contribute to global climate change, poor animal welfare or failure to uphold human rights.
Engaging with this bank is quick and simple!
A few easy steps to support
big changes
1. Engage with your bank
Contacting your bank is a powerful way to drive change. Banks use customer deposits to make their loans and investments, so if you tell them that you don’t want your money to finance factory farming, they recognise the risk of losing customers. Together, our engagement has the potential to shift vast sums away from this industry.
2. Check your bank, and switch if you can
If you don’t want to risk your money financing this industry, switching banks is a strong statement - but they need to be told why you’re leaving to make a difference.
