ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance—three critical factors used to evaluate the sustainability and ethical impact of an organisation. In the context of a credit union, ESG principles are vital as they align with the cooperative values of serving the community and fostering long-term financial well-being. By focusing on environmental responsibility, social equity, and sound governance, credit unions can build trust, ensure regulatory compliance, and create a positive impact on their members and the wider community. Embracing ESG is not just about doing what’s right; it’s also a strategic way to enhance your credit union's resilience and sustainability for the future.

We are working towards reducing our carbon footprint through the adoption of environmentally responsible practices, including energy-efficient technologies, waste reduction, and sustainable sourcing. We aim to promote loan products that support sustainability and seek out sustainable investment opportunities where possible. We are dedicated to improving the financial well-being of our members.

We seek to improve financial education with our communications and we offer loans & savings products that promote responsible financial management and inclusivity, regardless of income or background.

We actively engage with the communities we serve through our Community Fund, our Volunteer Programme, and various partnerships that seek to contribute to community development, social justice, and economic growth.

We uphold high ethical standards and practices amongst all of our representatives, volunteers, officers and staff. We expect all employees, volunteers, and directors to act with honesty, integrity, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Opt for Digital Services
Reduce paper waste by switching to e-statements & AGM notifications, online banking, and digital correspondence. This small step minimises our environmental footprint and supports our commitment to sustainability.

Participate 
Volunteer with us, make suggestions for improvements, attend the AGMs and ask questions. The more input we have from our members, the better we can respond to our member's needs. Active participation also strengthens the social fabric and demonstrates solidarity with the community.
