FEBEA members, each of them with their own specificities, embody the characteristics of an ethical financier as outlined in its Ethical Charter.
The Athens Declaration takes stock of changes in the environment in which ethical financiers operate. These changes will have an effect on how Ethical financiers are going to evolve in years to come.
Through this declaration FEBEA members acknowledge and embrace these changes and build on the values and practices that bind them, to highlight them in order to strengthen the role of ethical finance in the economic, social and environmental transition of our European societies.
The Declaration was presented at the occasion of the FEBEA General Assembly in May 2019 at the initiative of our member Cooperative Bank of Karditsa, and today, in the context of the Covid crisis, is more relevant than ever.
The 8th Report on Ethical Finance in Europe presents evidences of how ethical finance is now a necessary, solid and credible model that serves the common good rather than a niche alternative.
As the ESF+ appears to be questioned in the new Commission’s plans, Social Economy organizations unite to call for stronger support.
