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.
