Yorkshire Building Society

Our take on Yorkshire Building Society

We love Yorkshire Building Society! It does everything that we would expect a Great building society to do:

  • Does not lend to companies involved in the fossil fuel sector
  • Has a clear policy stating that it does not lend to that sector, and
  • Has credible climate targets
  • We would like to see it offering green products that reward customers for engaging in climate-friendly practices.
