Eco-Friendly Efforts
at Your Credit Union
Small everyday changes can make a large environmental
impact. Here are a few eco-friendly business practices
we’ve implemented at SchoolsFirst FCU.
Five aging A/C units were replaced with more energy efficient ones and select locations upgraded to compact fluorescent lighting with motion detectors (resulted in savings of $56,000 in the past year)
All our paper shred is donated to Goodwill Industries for their recycling program
Plastic bottles and cans are collected and recycled with proceeds donated to the
Education Foundation for Orange County Schools Unused computer equipment is donated to local schools (a total of 365 desktops
and 28 laptops in 2008)
We use biodegradable Styrofoam cups that break down faster in landfills
Employees are rewarded if they participate in a commuter program and cut down on carbon emissions when they carpool, vanpool, take public transit, bike or walk to work
Marketing materials are printed with soy-based inks
