Highlighting its
Month-Long, Companywide Sustainable Habits
Initiative
Since 2022, over 1,075 trees have been
planted in recognition of Third Coast employees.
HOUSTON, April 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Third Coast Bancshares, Inc.
(NASDAQ: TCBX), ("Third Coast"), the holding company of Third Coast
Bank, today announced its observance of Earth Month throughout
April, showcasing its dedication to sustainability and making a
significant impact for the environment.
"Third Coast is dedicated to deepening its environmental
consciousness in our team members and our communities," said
Bart Caraway, Third Coast's
President, and Chief Executive Officer. "One of the hallmarks of
our Arbor Day celebrations is the planting of trees. As a company
with deep Texas roots, we are
proud to have planted over 1,075 new seedlings, or roughly 1.5
acres, across Texas forests since
we launched our Arbor Day tree planting campaign in 2022. Plus,
during the month of April, we renewed our commitment to sustainable
habits across all our locations. Third Coast recognizes the
importance of coming together as a community to sustain our
resources."
Each year, Third Coast spotlights its commitment to Impact &
Sustainability through its corporate responsibility priorities: (1)
environmental consciousness, (2) human capital management, and (3)
community outreach. Third Coast's corporate strategy supports the
long-term viability of its business model by fostering a culture of
corporate responsibility and emphasizing the positive impact on our
employees, customers, shareholders, the environment, and the
communities it serves.
As part of Earth Month 2024, Third Coast promoted the use of
sustainable habits for its employees and customers, including
enrolling in e-statements, recycling whenever possible, opting for
non-toxic cleaning supplies, and using reusable water bottles and
shopping bags.
The culmination of this month-long commitment was marked by a
tribute on Arbor Day. Third Coast once again partnered
with A Living Tribute for the third consecutive year
and has planted another 360 trees in recognition of every Third
Coast employee. A Living Tribute planted trees within
the South Texas National Wildlife Refuge Complex ("Refuge
Complex"). The Refuge Complex creates a natural border as the Rio
Grande flows from the mountains of Colorado to the Gulf
of Mexico, a unique ecosystem, and a lifeline for wildlife
and people alike. It runs through wetlands, forests, deserts, and
floodplains, providing water for agriculture, and a home for
numerous birds, plants, and animals.
Since inception of the Company's planting campaign, together,
A Living Tribute and Third Coast, have reforested over 1,075
native tree seedlings, representing approximately 1.5 acres, in
South Texas forests. The campaign
has supported the tree planting and reforestation work of both the
Santa Ana and Lower Rio Grande
Valley National Wildlife Refuges (NWR).
