Environmental Commitment

Environmental Commitment

We recognize being a good steward of environmental resources is essential to protect and sustain our environment for future generations, as well as those we serve today. We believe operating sustainably creates long-term value for our customers, communities and shareholders through reducing risks, strengthening our communities, and helping us meet the expectations of our stakeholders. We recently adopted an Environmental Policy Statement, which outlines our commitment to environmental stewardship and operating responsibly, as well as efforts to support our commitment.


Governance

We believe good governance practices and decision making are the foundation for operating responsibly and are necessary for creating long-term shareholder value. We seek to follow best governance practices and maintain Corporate Governance Guidelines. We were recognized as the best board in Texas by Bank Director in their 2021 Ranking Banking study.
