2024 Truly Local Commitment Recap

By Dana Brown on Dec 31, 2024 9:33:53 AM

Happy Holidays! It’s PenFi’s Social Purpose Coordinator Dana here, checking in for our yearly ‘Truly Local Commitment’ (TLC) recap. In case you need a reminder, our Truly Local Commitment is to improve lives and strengthen communities, specifically the Niagara and Haldimand communities. Now, this isn’t something we just use as a slogan or as a hashtag on social media, it’s a promise that’s weaved into everything we do. If you’re a member, you’re probably already aware of how we do this as a credit union. If you’re not a member, or maybe a new member, you’ve come to the right blog post because it’s literally my job to show people how we keep this promise. That should be your first clue that PenFinancial takes this commitment seriously, because they created an actual job to ensure it gets done. One of my favourite parts of my job is explaining to people what a Social Purpose Coordinator is, and what I do, and hearing this response after I tell them: “Wow, that’s awesome.” And yes, yes, it is. We invest in our Truly Local Commitment every day, not just through my position, but through our B Corp certification, Living Wage commitment and our partnership with Bullfrog Power.
