Orlando, Fla.-based First Green Bank is a community bank on a global mission—to support environmentally sustainable businesses. In support of its value-based mission, the bank embarked on a “Year in the Life of a Regenerative Bank,” project to chronicle its efforts to construct a living building with minimal impact on the environment. The bank also provides special interest rates for commercial and residential projects that qualify for LEED certification and offers a Solar Loan program, which encourages customers and employees to install solar panel systems for energy use.
The bank also runs the non-profit First Green Foundation, which supports local start-up farming projects as well as projects that better manage water resources.
