Social Responsibility Promise

Our Social Responsibility Promise outlines our aims for improving relationships within our communities, our environment and the people around us.

• Scotwest Credit Union is committed to ensuring that everyone within our common bond has access to our fair and ethical financial products
• We believe that everyone should have access to the information they need to make the best choices for their financial lives
• Caring about individuals also extends to caring about the people we work alongside, the people who make Scotwest Credit Union so well regarded across the west of Scotland
• Caring about individual members and their happiness is more than just focussing on their financial lives. An individual’s happiness derives from their wider life within their community and the environment that they live in
• Social responsibility does not stop on our own doorstep. The planet is now more than ever under threat due to climate change and we recognise that conservation and the redress of our impact on the environment through our ongoing business practices is crucial for all
