SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
California Bank & Trust (CB&T), www.calbanktrust.com,
announced today that the bank continues to introduce initiatives in
order to improve the institution's ecological footprint. CB&T has
implemented an industry-leading fare reimbursement program that
encourages CB&T employees to use mass transit while discouraging
commuting in single-occupant vehicles, which is scientifically known to
be detrimental to the environment. CB&T fare reimbursement program was
recently recognized as a silver winner in the Best Workplace for
Commuters Race to Excellence by the University of South Florida and
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In support of the fare
reimbursement program, CB&T has a small fleet of cars that can be used
during the day to make onsite business meetings by those who commute via
mass transit. CB&T also offers customers the option for paperless
statements to reduce paper waste and help protect the environment.
"At CB&T, we are committed to finding opportunities to lessen our impact
on the environment," said David Russell, senior vice president and
facilities manager for California Bank & Trust. "Our Corporate
Facilities group continues to implement green initiatives and upgrade as
opportunities become available through equipment replacement and light
retrofitting of certain facilities with more energy efficient equipment.
We look forward to implementing additional green initiatives and working
with green companies as their premier bank in 2010."
