Partner Profile The World Bank Group's mission is to fight poverty and improve the living standards of people in the developing world. The World Bank Group is committed to sustainability, both through its operations and within the organization. The Group's purchase of wind renewable energy certificates, equal to 100 percent of its electricity use, supports this commitment. "Using renewable power will reduce our offices' environmental footprint, increase demand for renewable energy, and set an example for other institutions in the Washington, D.C. area and globally that using alternative energy is a sound and important choice," says Van Pulley, Director, World Bank General Services.
