GABV Launches the GABV Academic Network to Advance Research in Values-Based Banking

By prioritising people and the planet alongside profit, values-based banking offers a sustainable, fair and inclusive financial model. Through this network, the GABV aims to raise awareness within the academic community, integrate values-based banking into academic curricula, and support research that explores the financial and societal benefits of this model.

Tytti Kaasinen, Head of Impact and Research at the GABV: "The launch of the GABV Academic Network marks a significant step in deepening the knowledge of values-based banking. By bringing together researchers, scholars, and financial practitioners, we aim to foster critical research, drive innovation, and shape the future of finance towards a more sustainable and inclusive approach to finance. This initiative underscores our commitment to ensuring that values-based banking is not only recognised as a viable alternative but also as a leading model for a fairer financial system."
