1st Capital Bank “Green 1st”

Welcome to 1st Capital Bank’s “Green 1st” Web page.

The bank’s mission, vision and values established a foundation at the onset for making decisions that include a "green” perspective as we strive to initiate socially and environmentally responsible business practices –– from our own behind-the-scenes recycling efforts to client-facing "paperless banking" through the enhanced use of technology.

How Can I Help?

1st Capital Bank is committed to preserving the beauty of Monterey County and our planet.

We’ve compiled a list of helpful resources — we hope you’ll read, contemplate and take action!

Our individual steps are small, but purposeful. “Green” is achieved through the thoughtfulness and actions of many. We hope you share our concerns and will join us.

According to Energy Star, if every American home replaced just one light bulb with a low energy light bulb (also known as a compact fluorescent light bulb, or "CFL") we would save enough energy to light more than 2.5 million homes for a year and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of nearly 800,000 cars.
