Can values-based banking reshape the financial system?

from Money for Change · host Triodos Bank

What is needed on the road to a sustainable, just world? In the Money for Change podcast, we discuss the news, global developments, and science, with a special focus on the economy and the role of money. We do this together with systems thinker and chief economist at Triodos Bank Hans Stegeman. Values-based banks has gained momentum over the past decade as more financial institutions put ethics, transparency, and social impact at core of their business models.Yet, despite this growth, it represents still a relatively small part of global finance and the member banks of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV, are often not the biggest players in their market. Why is that the case? And does the role of values-based banks differ in emerging economies? We discuss it today with Martin Rohner, executive director of the GABV, and Hans Stegeman, representing Triodos Bank as one of the pioneers of GABV. We end by taking a look into the future; what are the goals for the GABV in the next decade? And how would the future look like if all mainstream banks adopt the principles of values-based banking? Tune in for this conversation about the future of money, values and systemic change!
