What we're doing for the environment
When it comes to the environment, the little changes we could all make tend to have the greatest impact. That's why we set up initiatives to help our customers, our staff and our business as a whole, preserve the planet for future generations.
By developing environmentally-friendly products, services and workplaces, we hope to inspire everyone to unite in the battle against climate change.
Proving that financial services can be green too
Recently, we launched innovative green credit cards, giving customers incentives and rewards to help reduce their carbon emissions every time they spend.
How we're working with our planet in mind
By involving our employees and rethinking how our offices are run, we're getting closer to our goal of becoming carbon neutral in 2009.
Our green business practices
We're constantly setting targets in our quest to reduce our carbon emissions on a global scale.
What we're working on

We're in this together
In 2007, we joined seven other top brands to help homes in the UK reduce CO2 emissions by over 24 million tonnes, by 2010.
