Winners of the Finder Green Banking Awards 2024 revealed
Now in their second year, the Finder Green Banking Awards recognise UK banking brands that are playing a part in helping the UK become more sustainable.
The winners of the Finder Green Banking Awards have now been announced.
These awards rank major UK banking brands for their commitment to sustainability – based on their actions, not just their words – to help you cut through greenwash.
We looked at 3 key areas to determine the winners:
- Operational emissions. This represents the carbon footprint of a bank’s physical presence including any branches it runs, vehicles it owns or offices it uses.
- Net zero targets. This shows us the ambition from the bank for making sustainability improvements in the future.
- Position on financing fossil fuels. This helps us understand whether the bank is financing major contributors to the climate crisis, like the fossil fuel industry.

“Plenty of consumers want to make greener choices with their money, and we’d like to see the industry making these comparisons easier.”
