What is green banking?

2009-07-31

Recycling

Wainwright purchases recycled paper products with the highest post-consumer waste content possible. This includes monthly statements, brochures, ATM receipts, annual reports, newsletters, copy paper, envelopes – even toilet paper. Whenever available, vegetable-based inks are used instead of less environmentally friendly oil-based inks. Paper, cans and bottles are recycled at the headquarters and branch offices.

Energy Conservation

The lighting at the Wainwright Bank headquarters building has been retrofitted in accordance with the EPA Green Lights program. Energy Star rated computer equipment and appliances are purchased for new and replacement electronic devices. Employees are provided a subsidy to encourage the use of public transportation and none of the branches has a drive-through teller, thus helping to reduce gas consumption, pollution and traffic congestion.
The Wainwright Bank Green Loan™ provides discounted home equity loan financing for home improvement projects that reduce energy consumption including solar systems, windmills, new septic systems, windows, insulation and more.
