"At nrg, we don't just sell you insurance; we go to bat for you, coming and going. We are on your side. Not just during crisis times but for your day-to-day needs before a loss, as well. We'll wrestle with any company to see that you get everything you're due, from getting coverage, to being sure your claims are paid, to reinstating cancelled policies. No, we don't always win. But we can do whole lot better for you than anybody else can. But first, let us help you identify what you value….. If you're going to make wise decisions, you have to know what you're risking. Being underinsured risks everything. Not just your business, equipment, and your house, but your children's well-being and your permanent peace of mind. If you're in business or you have kids, there's no excuse for gambling with what's not yours to lose. Being overinsured is a bad idea, too. It locks up money you could spend in much better ways. Besides, insurance isn't the only way to mange your risk. This is one time when gambling never pays off. Instead, have us identify and analyze your risk right now, today - before you suffer a loss. We want to insure that what you value is protected. We sell a promise. You redeem that promise when something you value is threatened or lost."

About ShoreBank Pacific ShoreBank Pacific is the first commercial bank in the United States with a commitment to environmentally sustainable community development. We believe that long-term community prosperity goes hand-in-hand with a healthy environment. With that vision, ShoreBank Pacific, a Washington State chartered, FDIC insured bank, was formed in 1997 as a joint project of ShoreBank Corp., the nation's first community development bank, and Ecotrust™, an environmental non-profit. Through our lending programs, ShoreBank Pacific brings together conservation and community and economic development. We continue to create wealth in communities that wouldn't have access to banking otherwise. We've built a fantastic place to work that is founded on honesty and excellence. We became a B Corporation to support our mission and lend our credibility to a system that identifies and supports "good businesses." When you deposit your money at ShoreBank Pacific, you are helping to create sustainable companies, vibrant communities, and healthy environments by providing funds to our lending programs. Like other banks, we provide commercial loans; however, unlike other banks, we are conscientious to whom we lend, and potential customers are "scored" using a program of sustainability criteria, including conservation, community development, and economy measures. A healthy and sustainable business will translate into a healthy and sustainable community and economy. ShoreBank Pacific is wholly owned by ShoreBank Corporation, the nation's first community development and environmental banking corporation. The Change We Seek™ ShoreBank Pacific profitably assists businesses, and through them their communities, to be sustainable in economic, social, and environmental practices. * We lend money from our EcoDeposits™ program to businesses and non-profits that are committed to improving their sustainable footprint. While many of our loan customers are environmentally rel

About Fair Trade Sports Fair Trade Sports, Inc is the first sports equipment company in the US to launch a full line of eco-certified Fair Trade sports balls, ensuring fair wages and healthy working conditions for our adult workers. We have sports balls for soccer, football, basketball, rugby, volleyball, and more. We became a Founding B Corporation to join forces with other purpose-driven companies in our pursuit of a new, better corporate standard. We are committed to donating all profits after taxes to children's charities, both domestic and international. Sound familiar? It's a similar idea to the one behind the Newman's Own brand you see in the grocery store. Fair Trade Sports The Change We Seek™ We seek to ensure fair wages and healthy working conditions for adult (not child) workers and generate significant dollars for children's charities in the process. * How exactly do your dollars help when you buy a ball from Fair Trade Sports? A significant milestone for Fair Trade is that the producers of a product should earn enough in order to provide for themselves and their families. If adults can pay for shelter, food, clothing, medical needs, emergencies, and expenses for education, then children no longer have to contribute to family income. We at Fair Trade Sports sell only balls that have passed the standards of the Fairtrade Labeling Organization (FLO). The payments we make for these balls includes a 20% premium, which is used for improving the lives of the workers, their families and their communities. Together, workers and management form a "Talon Workers Welfare Society" and decide how to dispurse the Fair Trade Sports half of the 20% premium to benefit the group (the other half goes directly to the workers themselves). Programs include community clinics and healthcare insurance - a first in this industry - as well as micro-credit loans and more. * Until we reach profitability, we are donating $1000 annually to charities which benefit at-ris
