Summerland Credit Union attains B Corp certification

Summerland has a long history and commitment to sustainability demonstrated by becoming the very first financial institution in NSW to become a Gold Partner in the Sustainability Advantage Program. Our B Corp certification is testament to this commitment and reflects our continued dedication to being a responsible corporate citizen.

There are several benefits to attaining B Corp certification that will hold us accountable to the highest standards to create positive impacts for our customers, community and team.

Firstly, it provides a clear framework for how we make decisions in our organisation. We are held accountable for not only financial performance but also social and environmental impact. This means that we will continue to prioritise our members, employees, and the planet when making decisions.

Secondly, B Corp certification ensures we measure and track our progress towards our sustainability goals. This means that we are continuously improving our impact on the environment and society.

Finally, B Corp certification enables us to join a global community of like-minded companies who are committed to using business as a force for good. This community provides opportunities for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and innovation, all of which will benefit both our staff and our community.

I‘m proud of the work that Summerland has done to attain this certification and believe that it is a critical step towards providing better banking and building stronger communities.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to working together to build a more sustainable future.

Yours faithfully,
Bruce Parry
Community & Sustainability Manager
