Business principles

Find out how we do what we do

In addition to the broad vision and key values that underpin our business, we have a number of principles that guide and support our day-to-day decision-making.

Our business principles apply to everyone who works for Triodos Bank, in any capacity. They serve as a code of conduct, and also set the standard by which anyone can judge us.

Our business principles

We will

• promote sustainable development - considering the social, environmental and financial impacts of everything we do

• respect and obey the law - in every country where we do business

• respect the environment - doing all we can to create and encourage positive environmental effects
