Why the bank joined UNEP FI as a member
This endorsement is a continuation of Amalgamated Banks’s leadership in social responsibility and sustainability. Amalgamated is a Certified B Corporation, and a member of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV). In October 2018, Amalgamated announced a commitment to measure, report, and align all of its lending with the Paris Climate Agreement.

“The issues facing our society and our planet are simply too important for our industry to ignore. As America’s socially responsible bank, Amalgamated has always believed in our responsibility to act as a force for good in society. That is why we are so proud to be the first U.S. bank to endorse the UNEP FI Principles for Responsible Banking, which provide a valuable framework for our industry to work together towards a healthier, more sustainable society. We hope others in the banking industry will join us in signing on to the Principles, as we work together to actively shape a more just and sustainable future.”
