Corporate Citizenship

	Social responsibility and accountability are essential elements of our professional environment. We firmly believe that as a socially aware company, our corporate goals and objectives should align with the priorities of all our stakeholders, including but not limited to our clients, employees and community partners.
	Our Communities Supporting strong, vibrant local communities is important to B2B Trust. And while we’re proud of our involvement in all of the communities throughout Canada where we live and work, our efforts are focused specifically on challenges related to children, education and health.
	Our Environment B2B Trust’s environmental policies apply across all of our business units and bring to life our fundamental belief in doing what we can to preserve our planet for future generations. In support of this commitment, we seek out relationships with suppliers and contractors who respect environmental concerns. We recycle and encourage online and other paperless technologies. We buy green and promote energy awareness and conservation wherever possible, regularly reviewing policies and daily processes.
	Our Foundation The Laurentian Bank Foundation is the charitable sector of our parent company and has been in the business of “doing good” for over 150 years. One of its guiding lights is the goal of quality education for all children. Our commitment to our children’s future has been realized through our support of schools and life skills programs that contribute to their education, health and happiness. The Foundation also provides support to agencies and organizations that contribute to the wellness of individuals and their communities. We’re particularly proud of our involvement with the following organizations:

United Way

Our longstanding partnership with United Way has made a difference in the lives of Canadians from coast to coast. We’re proud of our association that goes beyond single campaigns, employee activities and financial contributions.

Leave Out Violence (LOVE)

LOVE is a not-for-profit organization that works to reduce violence in the lives of youth and in our communities by building a team of youth who communicate a message of non-violence.

Frontier College

Frontier College has been a leader in literacy since 1899, working with adults, youth and children who have little or no access to other educational opportunities or who need extra support to succeed in the mainstream school system.

Employee Programs

Committed to building stronger communities and strengthening education and social services, we support various employee programs to encourage personal philanthropy.
