Emissions tracking

YNCU has begun the intensive process of tracking the emissions from our operations. We are working towards reporting our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to our membership and the public by 2024. We are also actively working on tracking our Scope 3 emissions.

EV charging and hybrid van

Our two latest branch renovations in Windsor and Stratford, as well as our Corporate Office in Kitchener, feature new electric vehicle charging stations, and we recently replaced our YNCU corporate vehicle with a plug-in hybrid electric van.

Centralized waste and recycling

In 2023, we instituted central recycling centers at our locations along with a waste reduction system and an improved corporate-wide recycling program. Recycling efforts were increased, and single-use plastic garbage bags were reduced through central waste stations in all offices.

Paper reduction strategy

Our most recent branch renovations featured a paper-reduction strategy – eliminating brochures and large posters from branch designs and replacing them with digital signage. In 2023, YNCU introduced OneSpan eSignatures, allowing us to capture signatures digitally, making the loan and mortgage funding process paperless.

Green energy partnership

YNCU first partnered with sustainability solutions provider Bullfrog Power to choose green energy for our Kitchener corporate office. As of May 2025, we have expanded this partnership to include our Weber, Stratford, and Windsor branches. In addition, all YNCU EV charging stations are powered by 100% green electricity.

Recycled technology support

As part of our commitment to sustainability and digital inclusion, we proudly support The Working Centre’s Computer Recycling Program in Kitchener. Through our donations, we help extend the life of technology, reduce electronic waste, and ensure that refurbished computers are made accessible to those who need them most.

Green Team initiatives

As a result of our Green Team, we have started and supported: a staff-planted pollinator garden at Corporate Offices in Kitchener and Sault Ste. Marie; Pass the Bike staff riding challenge; Going the Distance staff outdoor exercise challenge; Carbon Cleanse staff challenge; a YNCU micro-forest was planted in Cambridge; a Staff Clothing Drive; and composters were installed at the Kitchener Corporate Office.
