Summerland Bank Sustainability Actions

B Corp recertification

Summerland Bank has proudly achieved B Corp recertification, increasing its score by 20% since 2023. This milestone reflects its ongoing commitment to ethical banking, environmental responsibility and creating positive impact across its communities.

Certified B Corporation

Summerland Bank became a Certified B Corporation in 2023. The bank says the certification verifies its social and environmental impact, accountability and transparency, and that it stands alongside a global movement of businesses committed to using their influence for good.

Supports Friends of the Koala

As part of its B Corp commitment to protect and restore the natural environment, Summerland Bank supports Friends of the Koala. Their work in habitat restoration, tree planting, and community education helps protect vulnerable koala populations across the Northern Rivers.

Avoids certain investments

Summerland Bank says it does not invest in fossil fuels, tobacco, gambling, and weapons manufacturing, and that it is choosing a future that is fairer and better for its communities.

Reduced paper use

Since 2011, Summerland Bank says it has reduced paper usage by 36%, saving 240,000 sheets of paper, equivalent to sparing 28 trees. It says this has been achieved through transitioning to digital processes, encouraging electronic communication over print, and streamlining workflows to reduce waste.

Community Matters donations

During B Corp Month in March, Summerland Bank supported local charities and community groups through its ‘Community Matters’ initiative. Its team nominated and voted for organisations, resulting in donations to several causes.

Financial literacy programs

Summerland Bank says it gives back to its local community through regular financial literacy programs, volunteering for local causes and supporting community-run initiatives.

Switch to renewable energy

The bank says it has switched to 100% renewable energy across its head office and branch operations.
