ESG Approach

At Umpqua Bank, we have long believed we share a responsibility to make this world a better place, starting with how we help our neighbors and neighborhoods thrive every day. We embed this principle in the fabric of our corporate values and culture. It drives us to approach things differently, from how we define prorities to how we craft our products and services. As an organization, we work to deepen focus on our stakeholers—customers, associates, communities, shareholders, and the environment. By continuing to evolve our approach we strive to measure and benchmark against an emerging set of environmental, social, and governance guidelines (ESG).

By guiding our work through this framework, we can recognize successes we are already acheiveing, as well as identify and integrate new opportunities into our roadmap for the future. As we apply these values more deeply to our broad business practices and growing operations, ESG can help identify priorities, document our progress, and better commmunicate these efforts to our stakeholders. Our commitment to ESG will continue to unfold and evolve in coming years, and it will continue to deepen the conenction between our comapny and the people and places we serve.
