We had the great fortune this week to meet with Gloria Freshley, Casey Repp and Erin Fitzgerald from ShoreBank Pacific. ShoreBank Pacific is an amazing voice and catalyst in the fight for corporate social and environmental responsibility and a true pioneer in the banking industry.
They are the first commercial bank in the United States with a commitment to environmentally sustainable community development and believe that long-term community prosperity goes hand-in-hand with a healthy environment. With that vision, ShoreBank Pacific, a Washington State chartered, FDIC insured bank, was formed in 1997 as a joint project of ShoreBank Corp., Chicago (the nation’s first community development bank) and Ecotrust™, an environmental non-profit located in Portland, Oregon.
Through their lending programs, ShoreBank Pacific brings together conservation and community and economic development. And with each loan, they provide information that increases the borrower’s business. Much thanks to Gloria, Casey and Erin for our great discussions this week, we look forward to exploring with ShoreBank Pacific how we can work together to make it a better world!
