Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (GCBC.US) operates as a bank holding company, providing banking and wealth management services.

Its business model does not involve the procurement or trade of physical commodities, nor does it have a supply chain of goods that would typically be subject to fair-trade certifications, ethical sourcing audits, or risks of forced/child labor. Therefore, KPIs related to fair-trade certifications, supply-chain audits, forced/child labor incidents, traceability of physical goods, remediation of sourcing violations, ethical sourcing clauses in commodity contracts, and high-risk material spend are not applicable to its operations. No evidence was found regarding supplier diversity spend.

The bank's charitable foundation awarded $550,000 to hundreds of nonprofit groups in fiscal 2025.

Based on an annualized interest income of $114.374 million for H1 2024, this represents approximately 0.48% of revenue. The bank provided grants to organizations such as Harlem Valley Rail Trail, Greene Land Trust, and Mountain Top Arboretum, which may have a wildlife conservation impact, and also supported animal welfare organizations like Remedios Cat Rescue Inc. with a $100 grant in 2024, and others including Precious Pound Pups Inc., Parrots for Peace, and Sanctuary for Farm Animals. However, there is no evidence of strategic focus or outcome tracking for these conservation projects.
