Wainwright Bank and Trust (Massachusetts USA)

Wainwright seeks opportunities to provide financing for projects including the preservation of wilderness areas and research into the health consequences of environmental toxins.

Wainwright Bank is particularly concerned where environmental issues intersect with social justice – for instance, access to open space for inner-city residents and the incidence of toxic pollutants in low-income neighborhoods.

Wainwright Bank's Environmental Policy is a guide to initiatives such as installing energy efficient lighting in its corporate headquarters, using recycled paper (and when feasible, soy-based inks), providing a public transportation subsidy for employees to reduce the use of automobiles, constructing LEED-rated buildings, and creating products such as The Green Loan.
