Green Banks
A roll of honour from a chart at my conference today from a section of a presentation talking about banks seizing the sustainability agenda:
Bank of America
Barclaycard
Citibank
Co-operative Financial Services
HSBC
HBOS
More Than
Norwich Union
Norwich and Peterborough
Wachovia
Westpac
Wells Fargo
This was one I hadnt seen/covered & looks very impressive

The highlight of the day was someone from Co-op bank listing what they do in corporate governance, community & employee engagement, & sustainability. They are as he pointed out since the regime change at the Body Shop prob the only company which also mounts campaigns (eg their cluster bomb campaign a few years back). Inspiring stuff :J

Another one that is proactive and willing to tackle difficult issues is the Dutch bank Rabobank

I find the case studies under sustainability reporting especially heartening
Hi John, assume you've seen this but just in case...

Thx Fran, and another one from Holland is ABN - also their Banco Real subsidiary in Brazil (which audits small businesses for sustainability, before they award a loan or similar)
Yes Freya, i had seen it was coming but not this actual report - there's a week of blogging in here already
