At Prospera, we help build vibrant, healthy communities, thriving local enterprises and financially empowered people. As a community-based credit union, it’s part of our DNA to ensure we have a positive impact on our employees, our members, our communities and the environment.

In 2022, as the world continued to grapple with the interconnected crises of climate change and social inequity, we committed to taking a more deliberate and holistic approach to communicating and advancing environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues at Prospera. We completed an internal audit that identified more than 80 initiatives, policies and partnerships that directly support ESG at Prospera, and recently launched a new internal, cross-functional ESG Working Group.

Our nine-person Board of Directors is committed to governance best practices and oversees the organization’s strategic priorities and financial performance. Several ESG measures are embedded into our executive compensation through our corporate key performance indicators, such as our Customer Effort Index (CEI) and employee engagement (Trust Index). More details on our governance can be found in our 2022 Governance Report.

While we’re at the initial stages of our sustainability journey, in the coming years we’re looking to align with evolving reporting frameworks and are excited to keep our members updated on future targets and benchmarks.
