We care about making a positive difference. That's why we're really proud to be a certified B Corp organisation.

As a mutual, we’ve always acted in the wider interest, making sure that the work we do benefits the many, not the few. Being B Corp certified means that we're part of a community of businesses from around the world that are doing things differently to meet high standards of social and environmental impact. The certification is awarded to businesses that are committed to benefitting all people, communities and the environment, something which strongly resonates with our business purpose.

But what does our new B Corp status mean for you?

Here at Coventry Building Society, we put social and environmental considerations at the heart of everything we do for one simple reason, we genuinely care. And we now have a B Corp certification to show for it. When you borrow or save with us, you’re choosing more than the right rate. You’re choosing a business that seeks to be a force for good to benefit people, communities and the environment. The same goes for our social impact too.

This latest recognition means that as an ethically conscious saver or borrower, you can rest easy knowing that your savings account(s) and/or mortgage are with a building society who shares your own values.

Going forward, we want to increase our charitable contributions, double down on our efforts to meet your financial needs and partner with many more worthy causes working tirelessly to improve lives across the UK.
