Vegan Future has an account with Unity Trust Bank, chosen for its selective investments, ethical leanings and known reputation for providing a high standard of service to social enterprises, charities and trade unions.
About Unity Trust
Since their formation in 1984, their vision has been to deliver a range of banking services that sets them apart from mainstream banks. Today, that vision continues to become reality as they lead the way in development of new initiatives which are changing the face of banking for the better.
Mission, Vision and Values
Since they were established 25 years ago, they have sought to put social change, social benefit and community involvement at the heart of what they do.
In that time, they have created a sustainable, socially responsible business. They use some of their profits to re-invest in our business to help more organisations in the future. The remaining profits are returned to their shareholders - trades unions and the Co-operative Bank - which are both part of UK civil society.
How this translates into practice
They won't deal with any organisation which they believe supports or is engaged in activities which:
- do not respect or value human rights
- discriminate on the basis of race, religion or sexual orientation
- are undemocratic or intolerant of others' views, or which use intimidation or violence as a means to achieve business ends
- do not support the formal organisation of labour within the workplace
- are extremist
- are directly involved in the manufacture of arms or explosives.
Additionally, they won't deal with any organisation which is based overseas. And, because they want to see a prosperous and vibrant UK economy, they will not outsource any of their (EU) operational requirements offshore.
