We've always believed in equality and inclusion for all. And that everyone has, and deserves, an equal place in society. That’s why we have an inclusive working culture, we support our local communities and we campaign for meaningful, societal change.
Our co-operative values have always driven us to make society better for everyone, regardless of sexuality, race, gender or ability.
Our vision of equality is shared with our customers, colleagues and partners, and guided by our unique, customer-led Ethical Policy. Our customers tell us what matters to them, and we take action on it. That means they decide what causes we support and who we do and don’t provide banking services to.
When our customers say they want us to stand up for human rights and equality, we will. That’s why we refuse banking services to organisations that advocate discrimination or incite hatred.
