Money moves the world—let’s make sure it’s moving in the right direction. This B Corp Month, we’re celebrating our fellow B Corps that are proving business can be a force for good—like Climate First Bank. As a values-based bank, Climate First ensures that deposits fund renewable energy and sustainable solutions, not industries that set us back. Thanks to their commitment to financing solar projects, they’ve reached $1 billion in assets—a testament to the power of aligning money with mission. At Premiums for the Planet, we believe in walking the talk—that’s why we trust Climate First with our own banking. Just like they’re reshaping finance, we’re rethinking insurance, making it easy for brands to ensure their premiums support a just, livable future. And lucky for us, they're also great people. Here's our Head of Partnerships Nick Gardner with Executive Chairman Kenneth LaRoe and his wife Dr. Cindy Laroe at last year's #ClimateWeekNYC. Want to bank where your values are?
