Who they are
Ecology Building Society was founded in 1981 by a small group who each contributed £500, with the aim of providing mortgages for properties that respect the environment.
It began trading from a tiny upstairs office in Cross Hills, West Yorkshire - and it has operated from that part of the country ever since. As a mutual, Ecology is owned by its members and creates a partnership between savers and borrowers built on shared values and a commitment to sustainability.
In 2016 it became the first building society to be awarded the Fair Tax Mark - a small but telling sign of how seriously it takes its principles. This is not a society chasing headlines with rate specials; it is one where your money is put to work funding genuinely green projects.
