Sustainability

Climate change stands as the paramount challenge confronting our generation. Failure to take action, whether as individuals, as a society, in politics, in industry, or in business, will leave an unforgivable legacy for our children and grandchildren. At West Chartered Bank, sustainability is at the very heart of our corporate strategy, and we are at the forefront of climate finance initiatives in Ireland.

While we have made significant strides in this pursuit, we recognize that it falls short of what is required. We are committed to doing more, to taking bolder steps towards a sustainable future.

Sustainable Communities Strategy & 2021 Progress

Climate & Environment

We are proactively decreasing our own carbon footprint and have set a target to achieve Net Zero by 2030. We are also extending our support to our customers and communities in their transition towards a low-carbon economy. Our ambition is for green and transition lending to comprise 70% of all our new lending by 2030.

Economic & Social Inclusion

Our aspiration is to foster a more equitable society that embraces social and economic inclusivity. We accomplish this through investments and advocacy in areas such as access, education, and innovation, benefiting our customers, colleagues, and communities alike.

Future Proof Business

We are dedicated to providing our customers with the finest banking experience possible, and we continuously strive for improvement through learning. In an era of growing digitization, our primary focus is on maintaining the resilience of our systems and safeguarding our data.
