Banking is really about connecting people.
Linking depositors to the projects that are financed with their money.
And that connection has huge social power.
It's a movement; with that movement we can really change a lot together.
In 2018 we have become much more visible in the public.
Triodos was much more seen almost as an activist.
I'm really enthusiastic about what is possible in the coming years.
As a society, as mankind, we really have to make choices.
Choices which have consequences: the way we live; the way we operate our economy.
But also for ourselves: what we buy; what we do not buy.
All sorts of impact that our money has.
I'm very inspired about what's happening around us ...
particularly the openness now in society ...
about how can we change our financial system -
that it is supporting us and not taking us from our core.
That is really what Triodos is about. And that is inspiring for all of us.
