„Social“ and „Banking“? Why is it important that banks and financial service providers contribute to a more sustainable development? How can we use money in a way that benefits both people and planet? What specific opportunities do we have in this context - as managers, employees and customers of banks and financial service providers?

These are the sort of questions that will be addressed at the International Summer School 2008: ”Social Banking: Profit for People and Planet“ from July 27 to August 01, 2008, in Rønde near Århus, Denmark. The event will provide interested and engaged people with a thorough overview on the need for and the opportunities of a socially oriented banking and financial sector. The organizer of the Summer School is the Institute for Social Banking, Bochum, in cooperation with Merkur Bank, Denmark.
