About
Beneficial State Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that engages in activities that protect, support, and promote the triple-bottom-line missions of Beneficial State Bank and Albina Community Bank. We help ensure that the banks meet the goals of generating prosperity for people and the planet, and avoid extractive practices while being financially sound.
Why we're Green
Through our policies and practices, we strive continuously to reduce our consumption of energy, natural resources, and materials, and contributions to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, air and water pollution, and landfills. Since 2011, we have engaged an independent third-party firm to track and report our annual GHG emissions and sources. We use this information to target ways to reduce our emissions and purchase carbon offsets in order to be a carbon neutral organization.
