United Kingdom

27 Financial Institutions currently invest or make available an estimated USD$ 27,834.86 million in nuclear weapons companies.

 

Runners up

These are financial institutions that have a published policy excluding investments in nuclear weapons companies, but who’s policy is not comprehensive in scope as it does not meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • no exceptions for any types of nuclear weapon companies
  • no exceptions for any types of activities by nuclear weapon companies
  • no exceptions for any type of financing or investment by the financial institution

The Runners up category is quite broad in definition and offers a place to some financial institutions that are almost eligible for the Hall of Fame, but also some institutions that are barely escaping the Hall of Shame. For each institution, we give a description of its policy and investments it currently has in any of the 27 producing companies, if any. We also comment on the reasons why any particular institution is not in the Hall of Fame.

By including a Runner up category, we aim to feed discussions on exclusion policies and their implementation. Ultimately, we hope of course to be able to welcome more institutions in the Hall of Fame in future updates.

Co-operative Bank (Private)

The Co-operative Bank is part of The Co-operative Group, the UK’s largest cooperative group. Co-operative Bank offers a range of financial products, from current accounts and savings accounts to credit cards and loans, it operates an ethical policy which it updates regularly to reflect its customers’ views. 2012 marked the 20th anniversary of the launch of the bank’s Ethical Policy, that contains 27 specific clauses that restrict the provision of finance to certain business sectors or activities. It comprises 27 policy statements that are underpinned by a mandate from approximately a quarter of a million customers who have participated in the five policy consultations (1995, 1998, 2001, 2005 and 2009). Regarding weapons, the Co-operative Banking Group policy is not to finance “the manufacture or transfer of armaments to oppressive regimes” and “the manufacture or transfer of indiscriminate weapons, e.g. cluster bombs and depleted uranium munitions

<         The Co-operative Bank, “Ethical Banking”, available at http://www.goodwithmoney.co.uk/ethical-banking, last viewed July 2013.)). Nuclear weapons are included in the definition of indiscriminate weapons used by Co-operative Bank. This means that the group will not finance any company that manufactures, sellsand exports nuclear weapons to oppressive regimes or that exports strategic parts or services for nuclear weaponsto oppressive regimes.1 To put this into practice, all business customers are required to complete an ethical policy questionnaire. In its annual report for 2012, the Co-operative Banking Group makes clear that it denied finance to seven defence component manufacturers, two businesses involved in the manufacture or supply of components for weapons and one chemicals supplier facility for a business involved in the provision of nuclear weapons services for a government considered an oppressive regime.2 The bank’s ethical policy unit reviews business applications against its policy statements to decide whether the bank can offer the applicant business banking facilities.3

 

Despite having no investments in any of the producers identified in this report, Co-operative Bank is not included in the Hall of Fame (yet) because its policy is not comprehensive when it comes to types of nuclear weapons companies or types of activities by these companies. By singling out only repressive regimes, Co-operative Bank’s policy gives the impression that it would invest in nuclear weapons producers in other states. We commend Co-operative Bank for their policy and encourage them to further strengthen the policy so they may be listed in the Hall of Fame in our next report.
