Abstract
Bankers Consultancy has been commissioned to provide an analysis of the banks operating in the UK in relation to their environmental policies, in order to chart out the recommendations about a company to bank with, in view of their environmental policies and their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) targets and performance. A range of key performance indicators will be used to assess the banks environmental stance. The report will begin by providing a summary of the environmental policy of every bank. It will then go onto analyze every single bank and discuss the limitations in this study. As we began our research it became apparent that a Bank had its own KPI's through which they monitered their environmental policies. We could have also used IEEP (Institute for European Environmental Policy) evaluation and assessment criteria for analyzing the Bank's KPI's. However the IEEP cover a wide range of assessment tools, such as Sustainability Impact Assessments (SIA's) for policies, Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA's) for plans and programmes and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA's) for projects .
