The Environmental Protection Alliance (EPA) is a coalition of environmentally conscientious financial institutions, pension funds, individuals and organizations committed to the preservation and conservation of the Earth’s resources and our environment.
The EPA advocates for environmental awareness and promotes policies that protect planetary health to help slow down or reverse some of our most pressing environmental issues.
Industries and their respective operating and financial companies must be held accountable for the adverse environmental effects of their operations and the EPA supports policies, practices and partnerships that promote and cause environmentally responsible behaviors/actions.
To enhance our effectiveness, the members of EPA generally focus their efforts on a single environmental initiative/campaign- usually one that is connected to a current legislative agenda.
