We want to be a leader in the sustainability of our communities with the operations of our own bank. We have taken the following steps to be environmentally conscious:

• When we built our Santa Fe Downtown office, we voluntarily installed a state of the art water harvesting system that will save over 100,000 gallons of water annually by capturing runoff and redistributing it to meet the needs of our facility.

• We became one of the first companies in New Mexico to join the PNM Sky Blue program that allows residents and businesses to subscribe to New Mexico wind power for up to 90% of their monthly kilowatt usage. We encourage you to take a look at www.pnm.com/environment.

• We have purchased two hybrid-powered bank vehicles to reduce fuel consumption and illustrate to our customers and staff the value we place on sustainability.

• Efforts in providing free electronic bank statements and other notices continue to make major reductions in our paper production and use.

• In communities we serve, we have embraced support requests for Clean-Up Los Alamos and keep Santa Fe Beautiful with our dollars and commitment of staff time to make a difference in joining their inspirational mission.
