TRIODOS BANK’S STATEMENT OF
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

part of all Triodos Bank’s activities, and,
wherever possible, Triodos actively supports
sustainable development. Final responsibility
for the environmental policy rests with
the Executive Board. Its implementation is
the responsibility of every co-worker.
The key elements of Triodos Bank’s environmental
policy are:
1 in respect of its (bank) financing policy, to
focus on activities that aim to deliver
sustain able development.
2 to reduce and/or eliminate the environmental
impact of its own activities by
adopting environmental considerations as an
integral part of its operations
3 to comply with all relevant statutory
provisions and with all associated rules and
agreements
4 to fully inform and train co-workers when
necessary, to ensure that Triodos Bank’s
environmental policy can be implemented
effectively
5 to endeavour to have an open dialogue
with all Triodos Bank’s stakeholders, and to
report the environmental policy results in
the Annual Report, together with targets for
future years
6 to strive for continuous improvement and
development of the Environmental Management
System
7 regular assessment of the implementation
of the environmental policy.
Triodos Bank’s statement of environmental
policy was revised most recently in 2009 by
