In December 2004 Savings & Loans Credit Union became the first South Australian headquartered financial institution to commit to integrating environmental considerations into all aspects of its business, under UNEP FI.
As the second largest credit union in Australia, with assets in excess of $2.57 billion (Annual Report 2007), Savings & Loans is well placed to positively influence a wide range of stakeholders in environmental and sustainability issues, which include its members and the communities in which it operates.
Greg Connor, Savings & Loans Chief Executive Officer, signed the statement on 22 December 2004, which formalises the company's commitment to the environment and sustainability. He said that, by signing the UNEP FI Statement, the Credit Union had put on the public record its commitment to the environment.
"People who invest their money with Savings & Loans will know that their money is working for the environment," said Mr Connor.
"We will ensure that environmental and social sustainability is a key objective in every aspect of our business. It will be integrated into our choice of suppliers and business partners, the products and services we offer our members and the companies to which we loan money.”
