Achieves all 12 5-Year Impact Goals, underscoring a steadfast commitment to sustainability
NEW YORK, June 15, 2026 /3BL/ - The United Nations Federal Credit Union, UNFCU, announced the release of its 2025 Impact Report. Results spotlighted the completion of all 12 organizational, leadership, and innovation goals the Credit Union established in 2020. Chief among these was maintaining climate neutrality even as UNFCU grew to exceed $10 billion in assets and more than 800 employees.
“UNFCU’s commitment to sustainability reflects our responsibility to serve both current and future generations," said Pamela Agnone, President and CEO of UNFCU. "Over the past five years, our Board, leadership team, and employees have demonstrated that environmental stewardship, financial resilience, and member service can advance together. Reaching these goals while continuing to grow and strengthen our organization is a testament to the dedication of our people and the power of our cooperative values.”
UNFCU’s annual reporting on sustainability also highlights a decade of impact by the UNFCU Foundation, the Credit Union’s Business Resources Groups that furthered staff engagement, well-being, and inclusivity, and its Global Sustainability Program. Each pillar advanced local impact on a global scale. The more than 11,000 staff volunteer hours recorded last year in the communities where UNFCU has a presence represent a reporting highlight and a milestone in the organization’s longstanding practice of social responsibility.
“Inspired by our members’ tireless work to build a better world, sustainability is woven into our strategy, from operations, service delivery, member outreach and education,” said Yma Gordon, Senior Vice President, Global Impact & Inclusion at UNFCU, and Executive Director of the UNFCU Foundation. “It’s who we are as a credit union. Our cooperative values guide how we serve members, strengthen communities, build resilience, and create opportunities for those who need them most.”
Among the highlights of UNFCU’s 2025 Impact Report:
- 9 consecutive years of climate neutrality
- 33% decrease in paper use since 2023
- 32% increase in staff volunteerism from 2024
- 32+ organizations supported that strengthen our local communities
- 16,000 women and youth positively impacted across six continents
- $1.3 million contributed to UNFCU Foundation grant partners and humanitarian relief efforts
The UNFCU 2025 Impact Report aligns with the Global Reporting Initiative, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and Greenhouse Gas Protocol industry standards.
UNFCU's sustainability efforts directly support 14 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reinforcing the Credit Union's commitment to advancing global prosperity, inclusion, and environmental stewardship. Its 15th annual communication on environmental, social, and governance progress demonstrates UNFCU’s active participation in the UN Global Compact, the world’s largest sustainability initiative.
