A: Your decision to bank with us is a huge vote in favour of businesses doing their part to make our economy greener. Because when it comes to the environment, we don’t just talk the talk.
At Vancity, we walk the eco-friendly walk. We’ve been carbon neutral since 2008, we recycle as much as possible, and we use green building materials in our facilities. Since we began reducing energy use from our buildings, we estimate we’ve saved more than $4 million in energy costs—savings that we’re now able to invest back into our communities.
We also make loans to emerging eco-business and we’re investing in environmental industries that show financial promise. Those loans are funded directly by your deposits. By banking with us, you help us support a growing range of green businesses and sustainability ideas.
