Committed to the Environment

Sustaining Operations:

Reducing Waste – Businesses like ours often entail a lot of paperwork. At Independent Bank, we have worked hard to minimize the amount of resources we use. One initiative that has been in place for several years is document imaging, eliminating our paper files. Another project entailed utilizing a software program (Papercut) that makes employees aware of their paper usage and its negative impact on the environment.


Recycling of Trash – All discarded confidential information (paper) is shredded securely and recycled. All other trash is taken to a secured landfill.


Flexible Work Space –Independent Bank continues to offer flexible work locations for employees, which has greatly helped in reducing commute time as well as fuel emissions.

Effectively Managing Facilities:

Solar – We have piloted solar energy savings technologies in our facilities. In 2019, we installed a solar parking lot light which we have been monitoring, and in 2022, we will be installing a rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system at one of the branch locations as an additional pilot. 

 

Water Savings – We are continuously upgrading the faucets and toilets in our locations to touchless systems that shut off and conserve water. Hot water systems are being replaced with energy efficient systems.

 

HVAC – As air conditioners and heating equipment is replaced, we choose the replacements with the highest energy star rating.

 

Appliances – Refrigerators, microwaves, and small appliances are replaced with the highest energy star rating equipment.

Employee Engagement & Partnership

At Independent Bank, we support our communities with donations and volunteers. In 2021, Independent Bank donated a total of $282,000 in CRA-qualifying donations.
