Learn About Our Impact
Our Approach
01.
It starts with you
When you partner with a bank, you make a decision about how your money will be used. Considering where your dollar goes, beyond your account, is the first step towards better banking.
02.
Sustainable finance vs. traditional finance
We offer everything you’d want from a traditional bank, including both digital and branch banking options within Maryland and Virginia. What sets us apart is how we proactively dedicate capital to sustainable investments and clean energy projects, which help drive towards a low-carbon economy.
03.
Funding helps climate-conscious companies grow
Today, we finance millions in solar residential loans, wind turbine repairs, and affordable housing. We also ensure that none of our loans finance fossil fuels, allowing us to become Fossil Free and Green Business Certified.
04.
Our responsibilities beyond banking
Our approach to sustainability and responsibility extends beyond our financing and runs throughout our operations and employee benefits. Employees receive bonuses for purchasing solar panels or electric vehicles. And all our clean energy financing is aligned with our Green Financing Framework, which is independently verified through a second-party opinion by Sustainalytics.
