Ecology Building Society For 40 years we’ve backed people who dare to build better homes and better futures. Together, we’re shaping the future we all share.

Our ethical savings and mortgages help bring energy‑efficient, affordable and community‑led projects to life. Ecology Building Society is dedicated to building a greener society by providing commercial and residential mortgages for properties and projects that respect the environment and support sustainable communities, funded through our range of simple, transparent savings accounts. As a mutual Ecology is owned by its members and was established in 1981.

We’re incredibly proud to sponsor Ethical Consumer Magazine’s Climate Gap Report for the fifth year running! 🌱

In this year's foreword, our Chief Executive Officer, Gareth Griffiths, takes a close look at the distance between current climate targets and the action being taken. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of the challenge, and we know that building a better future can sometimes feel like an uphill climb.

But as Gareth points out: "Imperfect conditions don't cancel agency. They redefine it."

Even when things feel out of our hands, our day-to-day choices (like where we spend, where we save, and what we choose to support) add up. At Ecology, our amazing savers prove this every single day. By trusting us with their savings, they directly fund borrowers building and retrofitting energy-efficient, sustainable homes.

Together, our individual actions become a powerful force for good 💚

We’re proud to sponsor Ethical Consumer Magazine's Climate Gap Report for the fifth year running 🌍

The latest findings are a clear reminder that we can't just wait for perfect conditions to act. By turning our individual choices into collective power, we can shape better conditions for tomorrow.

Take a look at the 2026 report: https://bit.ly/3K09Vmy 💚

Our latest magazine features the 2026 Climate Gap report, which explores the gap between where we are currently and where we need to be, in terms of the UK’s climate emissions, to meet our 2030 targets.

Reflecting on the Climate Change Committee’s (CCC) annual progress reports, we aim to simplify information on key actions for consumers, alongside actions for government and companies.

The latest report highlights that only two of our 12 indicators on reducing emissions appear to be on track, despite the extreme weather we’ve experienced this year in the UK alone.

We know that looking at big financial goals can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming.

But here’s the good news: you don't need thousands in the bank to start feeling the benefits!

Celebrating the habit of saving (rather than just the final number) is where the real magic happens.

Whether you're tucking away £10 or £200 a month into your savings, taking that regular, simple step builds real financial confidence and gives your wellbeing a natural boost.

P.S. You can even set up a simple monthly standing order to make sure the habit is consistent and even easier.

Let’s take the first step together. Have a look at our savings with impact today: ecology.co.uk/savings 🌱

We don't have traditional shareholders. We have members. And that changes everything.

Back in 1981, we set out with a simple idea: to build a fair society and a more sustainable world.

And, because we're owned by you (our members), we can focus entirely on what matters. Your financial security, and a healthier environment for the generations of tomorrow.

As a mutual, we use your deposits to fund sustainable mortgages. It's transparent, simple, and rooted in real community impact.

💡 Looking for a flexible way to save? With our new Ecology Single Access Saver, you can put your money to work for the planet while enjoying straightforward access to your funds when life happens.
