Vancity Launches the Green Future Initiative to Power Sustainable Community Growth
New CSR Program Brings Ethical Banking and Eco-Friendly Investments to the Heart of British Columbia
Kamloops, BC, July, 20th, 2025
Vancity is proud to announce the launch of its newest CSR initiative, the Vancity Green Future Initiative. This forward-thinking program is to support sustainable community development through targeted green investments, environmental education, and strategic partnerships with local organizations and small businesses .
“Responsible banking is about more than numbers, it’s about building a better future for our communities and our planet,” said Wellington Holbrook , president and CEO Vancity.
The initiative will focus on funding renewable energy projects, supporting eco-friendly start-ups, and hosting community sustainability events. Alongside financial investment, Vancity will deliver educational programs that highlight sustainable practices, encouraging members and local residents to participate actively in creating a healthier environment.
To strengthen our impact, the Green Future Initiative will also work closely with local governments and community leaders to identify things that can bring immediate benefits to our neighborhoods. This new program is designed to make sustainability simple and accessible. We are setting up clear pathways for renewable energy projects and offering support to start-ups that focus on eco-friendly solutions. By doing so, we hope to inspire others to adopt greener practices in their daily lives.
Vancity will host interactive sessions and workshops where community members can ask questions, share ideas, and learn how simple changes can lead to big improvements in our environment. These events are planned in collaboration with local experts and educators who are passionate about sustainability and community building. They will provide practical advice on energy conservation, recycling, and responsible consumer choices.
Vancity has a long history of supporting initiatives that improve social and environmental outcomes.
At Vancity, “our vision is a transformed economy that protects the earth and guarantees equity for all.”
Our continued commitment is reflected in this new program, which is open to local organizations and small businesses. We believe that by working together, every member of our community can play a part in creating a cleaner, fairer, and more sustainable future for everyone. Join us as we take these important steps forward and build a greener tomorrow.
