“We are honored to again be recognized for our company’s
dedication to protecting and preserving the environment within the
communities that we serve,” said Union Bank Vice President and
Environmental Specialist Kim Luu. “The ENERGY STAR certification
designation is a proud achievement and signifies that our branches
are among the most energy-efficient in the country, and highlights
our commitment to sustainable business practices.”
The EPA’s ENERGY STAR program evaluates entire building energy
data and normalizes for building use characteristics such as its
age, size, location, number of occupants, and number of personal
computers to determine a 1 to 100 score for certain space types. To
qualify for the ENERGY STAR Certification, a building must have a
score of 75 or higher, indicating that a building is performing in
the top 25 percent compared to similar buildings nationwide.
“We are pleased to receive the ENERGY STAR certification for our
52 bank branches in recognition of our leadership in environmental
responsibility,” said Union Bank Head of Retail Banking and
Enterprise Marketing for the Americas, Pierre P. Habis. “As a
responsible corporate citizen, we believe that caring for our
environment is not only a civic responsibility but also an
essential part of a good business strategy.”
The 52 Union Bank branches improved their energy performance by
making cost-effective improvements to their buildings and through
the efforts of local employees to use energy efficiently.
