We were thrilled to attend the 2024 Lismore Business Awards this month, where we were honored to receive the Sustainability Award.
This recognition reflects our deep commitment to sustainability, which is central to who we are at Summerland Bank. Guided by strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, we strive to protect our natural environment and positively impact our local communities.
Our success as a bank is intertwined with the strength of our region, and this award reinforces our dedication to ethical and responsible growth. We believe that sustainability goes beyond just environmental impact; it’s about ensuring that our business practices contribute to the long-term prosperity of the communities we serve.
We’re proud to be part of a resilient community and are grateful for the support of our customers, partners, and employees. Together, we look forward to building a sustainable future for Lismore and surrounds.
