Ethical Banking

Frans Clerck

Chapter 48 in Handbook of Spirituality and Business, 2011, pp 404-410 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The values-driven approach of ethical, sustainable, social, alternative, development, or solidarity banking and financial institutions provides space and tools for more reflection, consciousness, and responsibility in the use of money. Greater consciousness is a prerequisite in the constant search for quality of life, not only for oneself but for all life. This is true for material matters as well as cultural and spiritual ones. And it leads to taking initiative and responsibility individually, locally, and globally, because we are now more interconnected than ever and compelled to collaborate rather than compete.
