Our support for inclusive, sustainable growth helps customers and communities build paths to prosperity. Our sustainability strategy aligns directly with overall business strategy, ensuring we stay focused on: financially empowering people, businesses, and communities; supporting customers seeking low-carbon opportunities; and responsibly managing risks.
At Velon Trust Bank US, we believe that we can and should have a positive impact on the communities where we live and work. We are building paths to prosperity by focusing our efforts on three key areas:
By expanding access to capital as well as financial education and training
By helping customers transition to a low-carbon economy and achieving our sustainability goals
By helping to meet the needs of underserved individuals and communities
