Impact
We deliver a sustainable, inclusive banking experience for the UN community
We were founded by and for the United Nations community. Making a positive impact is more than our responsibility — it is embedded in who we are. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we are committed to protecting our planet, developing an inclusive workforce, and overcoming poverty.
Advancing 14 SDGs
Through our operations and initiatives, we are dedicated to meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals’ 2030 deadline.
Our initiatives contribute to the prosperity of people and the planet
Protecting our planet
We are cultivating a healthier world by offering sustainable products, adopting sustainable practices across our operations, and divesting from pollutants. In 2018, we launched the United in Sustainability Network to lead a sustainability movement across credit unions.
Developing an inclusive workforce
We offer leadership development programs for people of all cultural and gender identities to uplift talent from across our community. We also offer inclusive health benefits, and initiatives that encourage our staff to be their authentic selves.
