In an enlightening conversation on the Edgehog Podcast, Martin Rohner, the Executive Director of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV), reveals how a unique banking approach can make a substantial difference. By prioritizing people and the planet over profits, GABV is leading a pivotal shift in the banking sector. This movement advocates for sustainable and ethical banking practices globally.

Revolutionizing the Banking Model

GABV champions a banking model that departs significantly from traditional practices. Martin Rohner explains that unlike typical banks, GABV members focus on long-term societal benefits and environmental sustainability. This approach ensures that every financial decision contributes positively to global well-being.

Ethical Banking in Action

The alliance promotes transparency and accountability in banking. For instance, some European members disclose every loan they issue. This practice ensures depositors know exactly how banks use their money. It empowers customers to align their finances with their values.

The Future of Finance

Looking ahead, listen to the podcast episode by Martin Rohner where he envisions a world where banks universally adopt value-based principles. GABV’s influence continues to grow, encouraging more financial institutions to rethink their roles. They aim to transform the industry into a force for positive societal change.
