BECU | Credit Union Powering Sustainable Success
Project Description
BECU, the 4th largest credit union in the U.S., has been measuring and working to reduce the carbon footprint of its operations since 2008. The BECU and Impacti partnership began in 2021 with the creation of the 2020 GHG Inventory report. In 2022, Impacti supported BECU in conducting its first-ever materiality assessment, aiming to pinpoint key environmental priorities. In 2023, for the third year in a row, both parties collaborated once more on the 2022 GHG Inventory while expanding to engage the C-Suite to take a high-level governance-led approach to sustainability.
