What Is Your Company Doing to Go Green?

What is your company doing to "go green" and how is that affecting your employees?

We want to create a corporate culture of environmental stewardship where team members consider the environment whenever they make a decision related to, for example, lending money, developing anew product

Here are a few examples of our actions, which, in combination, will lead to meaningful and long-lasting results.

Lead by example: Wells Fargo is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2007 Green Power Partner of the Year. We conserve resources though facilities management and procurement services. We purchase energy-efficient computers that are EPEAT-and Energy-Star rated. We participate in the U.S. Green Building Council's Pilot Portfolio Program to 'green' the design of our new retail stores.

Engage team members: We maintain executive-level environmental council and support Green Teams that are sprouting up throughout our company. Green Teams are groups of team members organized to promote environmental stewardship at a local level; they support efforts to save paper, encourage use of reusable cups, buy biodegradable kitchen supplies, and more. Our mantra is "our environment - everyday actions make a difference" and our efforts call for contributions from all levels of the organization.
