Our Impact

We believe in building something better for our customers, colleagues and communities, having a positive impact and making sustainable business choices.

Our vision and purpose

We're driven by our vision of building something better for those around us, and work hard to deliver our purpose of supporting savers and borrowers whilst caring for our customers, colleagues and communities in a meaningful and sustainable way. Each year, our Impact Report will detail ways we're bringing our vision and purpose to life, and the impact we've had on those around us.

What does building something better mean?

For our customers

Building something better means balancing the needs of savers and borrowers, providing great customer service and continuing to develop our products and proposition to support financial well-being and build better financial resilience.

For our colleagues

It means continuing to build a supportive and inclusive place to work where colleagues are engaged and rewarded fairly for the work they do. It means creating opportunities for current and future generations and being a great, local employer.

For our communities

It means providing funding and support to those who have a positive impact on the region, looking after the environment by reducing our impact and improving our surroundings in a positive and sustainable way.

Built on strong foundations

All of the work we're able to do is underpinned by the strong and resilient foundations we’ve built as a business. It’s those foundations, and the governance that sits alongside them, which help us grow the business, support our purpose and vision and ensure we’re here for future generations.

Our 2025 Impact Report

As a building society, we have the opportunity and the obligation to lead by example, showing that financial services can be a force for good in the transition to a more sustainable world. Our Impact Report explains in more detail how we’re doing that.
