We've won a national Sustainability Award

We have been awarded the 2010 Sustainability Award by the mutual financial services sector industry body Abacus, for our Teachers Environment Fund. The Abacus Sustainability Award recognises sustainability initiatives by credit unions and mutual building societies that positively benefit the environment or community.

Launched in March 2008, the Teachers Environment Fund is our initiative to assist public schools and TAFEs to enhance their sustainability, with projects such as water and energy saving, composting and recycling, tree planting and biodiversity, or any suitable environmental project.

To date, the Teachers Environment Fund has distributed just over $170,000 to a total of 47 schools and 2 TAFEs across NSW, ACT, NT and WA. Over $40,000 of this total was contributed by us on behalf of our members who switched from paper to online statements. 

Applications for the Teachers Environment Fund will open again in February 2011.
