Needham Bank

Needham is okay but has the potential to score higher

Needham Bank is a full-service bank that offers a range of personal and business banking services. The bank has multiple branch locations across Massachusetts, including in Ashland, Dedham, Dover, Medfield, Medford, Westwood, and Wellesley.

Most of its commercial lending is to small and medium-sized businesses, so the probability of it lending to the fossil fuel sector is low. On the other hand, it finances renewable energy projects.

We'd like to see Needham have a policy stating it will not lend to the fossil fuel sector. We would like to see it measure the greenhouse gas impact of its lending and set science-based climate targets.

Bank.Green believes that mass movements will pull us out of the climate crisis – and they’ll pull your bank out, too.

We were founded on the belief that banks have had an easy time from their customers for too long. Our mission is to encourage as many people as possible to take a stand - to refuse to let their money fuel environmental destruction any longer. Join us in building this movement by pressuring your bank to do better, or by taking your money to somewhere that cares about our planet's future.
