Make the Switch

13 October, 2023

Make the Switch to electronic AGM notices and be in with a chance of winning €200!

As we approach International Credit Union Day on Thursday 19th October, we are asking our members to “Make the Switch” from a paper AGM notice (which at over 28,000 active members, is a huge amount of paper to print each year) to email. It will go a long way towards reducing our carbon footprint and costs, which can be invested into other CU activities.

Anyone who makes the switch from Mon 16th – Sat 21st October will be entered into a draw to win €200, lodged directly into their Mallow CU account. 

Simply email agm@mallowcu.ie with your name, account number, phone number & email address (if different from the one you send the email from.)

Previously given permission for e-AGM notices? Thank you! We need your permission to enter your info in this draw so send us an email, as above and we’ll happily include you.

If your email address isn’t already registered to your account our team will have to contact you to verify your account details. Upon verification, you’ll be included in the draw. By sending the email you agree to be included in the draw and have your photo taken and shared on our social media channels and website. Normal terms and conditions apply, see below for more details.

The bigger picture

In 2023, Credit Unions across Ireland were appointed Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) champions by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. We, along with 26 other organisations from across society were chosen as part of the 2023-2024 SDG Champions Programme, to serve as leaders in driving forward Ireland’s progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Being sustainable really means that we consider the needs of the next generation while living in the here and now. Being environmentally sustainable is important, but we also need to be promote social (e.g. housing and education) and economic (e.g. employment) sustainability. For a person to thrive, they need access to financial services to drive both their social and economic development.

With 8 locations across North Cork & West Limerick, Mallow Credit Union is ideally placed to be the sustainable leaders across the communities we serve. Among the goals is “Climate action and mitigating climate change”, a long term goal that we can all sometimes lose sight of as we manage the everyday challenges. However, it is the most important long term goal for the quality and functioning of our planet. We’re grateful for our members’ support as we endeavor to make positive environmental changes to how we operate.
