First Green Bank

Type: Bank

Country: USA

Date of signing: 30 May 2013

“I strongly believe that efficient, wise use of resources — conservation — is a fundamental virtue and an economic necessity.  And I am convinced that business can be holistic: in addition to making a profit, business can have a positive impact on society.  As one of the first banks in the United States which has an environmental and social mission, and as a member of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values, First Green Bank adheres to a values-based business model which endeavors to do the right thing for: the environment, its people, its community, and its shareholders.  We are passionately dedicated to our mission of helping to show people there is a better way to do business which is financially, environmentally, and socially responsible, and the Natural Capital Declaration provides an awesome opportunity to contribute as global change agents.”
