The main purpose of the Environment Committee is to strive to make the Foundation a leading example of effective ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) stewardship and promote initiatives aligned to the Foundation’s strategic focus. We aim to create a positive and lasting legacy that shows us to be responsible corporate citizens, and hope to engender a spirit of mindfulness when interacting with the environment. By our investments in projects such as the First Citizens Play Parks and in our support of the Pointe-à-Pierre Wildfowl Trust, we aim to care for our natural environment, thereby caring for those in it.
