People, Planet, and Purpose: Clean Energy Credit Union Becomes Certified B Corp
A New Standard in Ethical Banking: Clean Energy Credit Union Earns B Corp Certification.
We’re thrilled to announce that Clean Energy Credit Union has officially earned B Corp Certification. This milestone reflects our deep commitment to ethical banking, environmental stewardship, and community impact. This achievement affirms our leadership in redefining what credit unions can stand for in America.
Our mission is to promote clean energy and to be a leader in sustainable finance. We achieve this by providing services like solar panel loans, electric vehicle loans, and financing for geothermal heat pumps. Your deposits directly support clean energy projects, creating a virtuous cycle of sustainability. Our B Corp Certification validates our commitment to using our financial services to drive positive change and proves that a not-for-profit financial services cooperative can lead the industry.
B Corp Certification, much more than a title.
This achievement is about much more than a title. B Corp Certification is a rigorous standard that recognizes businesses that use their power for good by balancing purpose and profit while driving positive impact for people and the planet. For us, it affirms what has guided us from the very beginning: that sustainable finance can be a force for meaningful change.
As a not-for-profit financial institution, our success has always been measured by the value we return to our members and communities, not by shareholder dividends. Every dollar earned helps us keep fees low, improve rates, and expand access to clean energy financing from solar panel loans and electric vehicle loans to green home improvement loans. Earning B Corp Certification validates that this model does not just work, it leads.
This moment is also a celebration of our staff, board, and members who make this mission real every day. Your trust and commitment fuel our impact, and this recognition belongs to you as much as it does to us.
Most importantly, this is just the beginning. By becoming B Corp Certified, we’re proud to be trailblazing a new standard for credit unions in America. We hope this milestone inspires more financial institutions to lead with values, transparency, and purpose. We are proud of this milestone and even more excited about the future we are building together: a cleaner, more sustainable, and more equitable world.
What is a B Corp?
If you’ve ever wondered what is a B Corp or how to find a company that aligns with your values, this certification is the answer. It is a third-party standard that verifies a company meets high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. In essence, it shows that a business is committed to being a force for good.
