Nearly 30 years ago, Kelsan changed its company tagline from “Think Clean” to “Think Green”. This simple change in words was followed by action - offering EPP or Environmentally Preferred Products in nearly every category, investing in LEED certification of our chemical manufacturing arm, and partnering with select manufacturers who have created recycling programs to put used products back into the raw material pipeline. At Kelsan, we understand the significance of being responsible stewards of our planet’s natural resources, and we look forward to an even greener future.

Since 2021, Renasant has provided more than $200 million in financing for green construction projects that are pursuing or have received certification under leading environmental standards, including Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and National Green Building Standard (NGBS) certification. Our corporate headquarters is powered by solar panels which decrease our usage of fossil fuels. Solar panels offer a sustainable, renewable source of energy, which helps us reduce our carbon footprint. Solar energy allows us to get the power we need in a clean manner and helps to limit our impact on the planet. Our West Tennessee headquarters has a full green space garden on the roof, which provides shade, removes heat from the air, and reduces temperatures of the roof surface and surrounding air. Using green roofs in cities or other built environments with limited vegetation can moderate the heat island effect, particularly during the day. Renasant works hard to promote online banking and eStatements, the delivery of banking statements via email. 73% of our customers use eStatements which removes paper waste and mail delivery impact on the environment.
