In this episode, you can hear from Christina Buzcko, representing the Austrian member, the Cooperative for the Common Good.

Everyone claims to be social and green nowadays. We are surrounded by those self called sustainable or green banks, which actually only care about greenwashing and not being caught. 

We will talk about the green and social taxonomy launched by the EU and how that's beneficial (or not) for ethical and mainstream banks. 

One of the most important aspects of ethical banks is that they are capable of measuring the positive impact their loans are doing and how much they "saved" in terms of pollution by not financing harming activities for the planet. 

Also, the cooperative governance, or the democratic ways of making decisions inside of the bank are really important aspects in those institutions. Get to know more about this in the podcast!
