问答题 THE CCOPERATIVE BANK Do you object to countries that deny people their human rights? Help cut off the money supply from oppressive regimes Countries that deny their citizens human rights have to get their money from somewhere if they are to survive. But deprive them of the ability to borrow, attract international investment or process cash and they simply cannot function. Because the hard fact is that money really does make the world go round. And stopping the money from getting to these types of countries can help exert pressure for change. Which is why the Co-operative Bank has taken a stand. We now refuse to invest in such regimes. With the Co-operative Bank you know you won't be supporting them The Co-operative Bank believes a financial institution should do more than simply express concern about such countries. We believe we should actively support those involved in combating these unacceptable regimes. Which is why our Ethical Policy clearly states that we will not invest in any country that oppresses, tortures or takes away human rights, nor will we finance the manufacture of weapons for such regimes. And that's why all our customers know their money is not being used to back them. Who we are- and what we stand for The Co-operative Bank has always stood for socially responsible values since it was first formed in the early days of co-operation back in the 1870's. Our Ethical Policy was formally announced in 1992, but this was simply following our Bank's traditional outlook and values first established over 100 years ago. In addition to refusing investment in oppressive regimes, it also makes clear: · we will not finance companies that needlessly damage the environment · we will not invest in businesses involved in animal experimentation for cosmetic purposes · we will not support any organisation involved in blood sports or companies using exploitative factory farming methods · we will not provide financial services to tobacco product manufacturers · we will not use our finances to speculate against the pound · we will actively seek out individuals, commercial enterprises and non- commercial organisations who have a complementary ethical stance. Where your bank can really make a difference Switching your current account to the the Co-operative Bank is simple. And it won't just give you the security of knowing exactly where your money goes. It will give us the support to challenge many accepted - but unacceptable - financial practices for the first time and exert a real pressure for change. Time to stand up and be counted The Co-operative Bank believes it's time to take a stand. We're making our ethical stance clear. We're making our principles plain. If you would like to do the same, simply return this request form or phone us on 0800 828 000 to find out what you could gain by banking with us.
