Mission Impact Area

Environmental sustainability

We believe environmental sustainability is inseparable from long-term financial wellbeing. By taking a responsible, long-view approach to how we invest, operate and partner, we work to reduce harm, support resilient systems and help ensure communities can thrive today and far into the future.
Impact in action

Turning commitment into action

We're committed to being transparent about what we can measure today and what we're building toward next. That includes operational emissions (how our buildings use energy) and financed emissions (greenhouse gas impact associated with our financial activities).

What we believe

Stewardship is mission critical

Caring for the environment is inseparable from caring for people and communities. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving energy and water and managing resources thoughtfully, we help protect long-term financial stability and shared wellbeing of our members and the communities they care about. 

How we live our mission

Embedding sustainability in business practices

Our environmental commitment shows up in the products and services we offer members. At the same time, we work to keep both our operational and financed emissions healthy and transparent so the impact of doing business with us aligns with our values. 

What our mission enables

Reduced stress on limited resources

Supporting cleaner, more responsible systems reduces strain on the power grid and protects water sources, leading to financial savings for everyone and healthier communites overall. Credit Human is intentional about using finance as a tool for environmental care—because where money goes shapes access to energy, clean water and long-term wellbeing for people and the planet.

What environmental stewardship feels like

Reliable power during outages

Through our partnership with Together New Orleans', we supported the formation of the Community Lighthouse project. This growing network of community-based sites is equipped with solar power and battery storage that provide safe, reliable access to electricity during outages. Together, we are helping neighborhoods stay connected, cared for and resilient when the grid goes down.
