"Back to common sense, it’s time for green banking"
This message sums up Groupe Crédit Agricole's position and its goals. It also defends its use of the term "green banking" not only through Sustainable Development actions but also by the fact that:
> Crédit Agricole is known as the "Green Bank",
> "Green banking" has both ecological and ethical connotations,
> In the wake of the crisis, Groupe Crédit Agricole's goal is to champion a "different kind of banking", servicing the real economy while obeying the absolute principle of responsible growth.
"Green banking" is therefore not just an environmental concept.

Groupe Crédit Agricole's commitments
> Working towards the goals set forth by the Global Compact and the Equator Principles since 2003
> The principles of responsible investment

> Responsibility at the heart of its bank-insurance business

Groupe Crédit Agricole is involved in the fight against climate change
> by ratifying the climate principles in 2008
