NEBA was founded and continues through today centered on three guiding principles - integrity, transparency, and accountability. We are a responsive, professional organization - always industry focused. NEBA continues to promote the highest professional standards and to represent the very best businesses in the environmental banking industry. We have sought to consistently build member benefits and to solve member problems. NEBA keeps its costs down and membership dues low, relying on strong volunteer efforts to continue much of its high-quality outreach, education, and membership support.
While the newest explosion of greed-induced hype around 'environmental markets' has caused lots of rumors, distractions and disinformation, NEBA continues to promote and advance real environmental banking industry law, policy and data. Keep a watch on this space for an exciting upcoming announcement of new Congressional action and fresh support to mitigation banking.
NEBA's mission is more relevant and vital today than at any time in confronting the new threats being posed for the industry.
