Supplementary notes

Sustainability is measured on a scale between 0 (worst possible performance) and 100 (best possible performance).

The source adds the following information: "The score for each provider was based on the publicly available information that could be found in four categories, which looked at the following questions:

Environmental reporting (max 25 points): does it report its environmental impact, and does it have targets to reduce it?.

Carbon management and reporting (max 35): does it report its emissions, and does it invest in fossil fuels?

Transparency and ethical lending policies (max 30): does it report all of its lending? Is it helping its customers to be more environmentally-friendly?.

Company ethos (max 10): is the provider a building society, B Corporation, or have another not-for-profit structure?."

Citation formats

As of June 2021, Triodos Bank performed better than any of the other savings account providers operating in the United Kingdom, in terms of environmental sustainability. The bank headquartered in Zeits (Netherlads) received a sustainability score of ** points out of 100, *** points more than Ecology Building Society and Nationwide Building society.
The environmental sustainability of each provider is measured based on its transparency in reporting environmental impact and carbon emissions, on the amount of its investments in fossil fuels, on its ethical lending policies, and on the overall company ethos.
