How do we ensure ethical investing?

At bunq, we are dedicated to being open, sustainable, and making ethical choices to improve people's lives. Our Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) policy, which started in February 2019, ensures that our investments don't harm people or the environment. We follow rules that consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors and align with global standards like the UN Principles for Responsible Investing. We aim to make financial decisions that benefit the future, supporting a sustainable and fair world. Learn more about our SRI and ESG policies, and explore our latest ESG report here:
