  • sustained carbon management measures, resulting in an 85% reduction in CO2 emissions since 2005

  • helping to increase the availability of affordable housing by being the largest lender to social landlords in the UK

  • providing a fair deal and delivering long-term value through honest and straightforward products and services

  • campaigning on industry and consumer issues including free cash machines, child savings regime and stamp duty threshold

  • prudent and responsible lending (rate of arrears on mortgages and credit cards being significantly lower than industry averages)
