In recent years, the banking and investment industry has come under scrutiny. From Wells Fargo to Deutsche Bank, scandals have peppered the headlines and political debates. According to Goran Jeras, the dominant forms of banking “powered by purely financial returns and profits” are ignoring broader ethical concerns and responsibilities. Do you know where your money goes after you’ve deposited it? Is your money being used in ways you would consider harmful? Is your money benefiting your community? What ethical banking and financing choices do you have? Join us fireside at CCEPA to discuss ethical financing and banking.
