Our Commitment Toward Sustainable Business
We are experiencing an unprecedented turning point in history as we confront the question of sustainability: Can we thrive economically while preserving and protecting the environment for future generations?

At Bank of America, America's largest retail bank, our answer is an emphatic "yes."

Today, as we make a transition to an environmentally sustainable economy, everyone is going to be impacted - directly or indirectly. Business success will depend upon a company's ability to adapt to the challenge of global climate change and its related issues of energy, forests, water and biodiversity. Bank of America believes we can be both sustainable and profitable, and we want to play a role in helping to lead the way into this new, sustainable and profitable era.

For more than 20 years, we've been weaving environmental consciousness into the fabric of our organization. As environmental awareness has grown, we could see the number of environmentally related business opportunities growing as well.

Because of the converging needs to nurture business while addressing global climate change, we have today developed a larger environmental commitment. We are increasingly deploying the power of our human and financial capital to connect our customers, clients and associates to opportunities in the new environmental economy.

In March 2007, our company committed $20 billion over 10 years. Led by an Environmental Council comprising senior bank leaders across business lines reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and supported by newly developed policies and procedures, this systemic effort will help our customers take actions to address global climate change. And while this work focuses on developing opportunities in the environmental economy, it is part of a much larger organizational commitment to supporting the health and vitality of communities across the country, creating access to greater economic and social opportunities for the people and businesses that live there. Because, at Bank of America, we recognize that the health of our company is dependent on the health of our communities and our society.
