I believe you that regular employees are not a part of this, and if it were just something the CEO believed I wouldn't care. But they use customer funds to fund ahtropospohical institutions. See, for example,
An anthroposophical pseudomedicine center:

An anthroposophical school:
https://www.triodos.nl/projecten/steinerschool-michaeli
Those aren't some old examples that I had to dig deep into the bank's archives to find, theyre just two examples of grants that are highlighted on their website right now. You and your colleagues probably weren't related to anthroposophy, but the management and the funding decisions definitely are.
From what I saw, if an organization can demonstrate a positive social impact and a business plan for paying them back, they have a good chance of getting funding. Judging from the number of customers they lend to, I have real doubts that this represents a large percentage of their customer base, or is on anyone's radar there.
