We strive to create a positive and lasting legacy that shows us to be responsible corporate citizens.
At First Citizens, we believe that sustainable business practices are essential to lasting positive outcomes for people and the planet and the sustainable development of our business. In furtherance of this goal, the Group is establishing certain areas of focus in accordance with best practice and international standards, including the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Environment Programme, Finance Initiative Principles of Responsible Banking and the European Union Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.
The main purpose of the Environment Committee is to strive to make the Foundation a leading example of effective ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) stewardship and promote initiatives aligned to the Foundation’s strategic focus. We aim to create a positive and lasting legacy that shows us to be responsible corporate citizens, and hope to engender a spirit of mindfulness when interacting with the environment. By our investments in projects such as the First Citizens Play Parks and in our support of the Pointe-à-Pierre Wildfowl Trust, we aim to care for our natural environment, thereby caring for those in it.
