Five years – Ten guides
Within just five years the Fair Finance Guide International has expanded tenfold: in 2014, the Netherlands had already been using this unique approach of assessing banks for five years, and in 2019 we are seeing the tenth FFG joining, in Thailand (April 2019).

The results of five years of research, public pressure, dialogue and engagement for more sustainable investment choices by financial institutions in all these countries are highlighted in this publication. With its rigorous methodology to assess banks’ policies and compare banks’ performance within but also between countries, combined with active campaigning, engagement and advocacy, the Fair Finance Guide has proven to be an instrument to stimulate a race to the top among financial institutions as well as inform citizens.
