Dedham Savings Unveils New Electric Vehicle Charging Station

As part of Dedham Savings’ ongoing efforts to incorporate environmentally mindful solutions to our customer’s everyday banking experience, a new electric vehicle charging station has been installed at our Main Branch, 55 Elm Street, Dedham. This unit provides a clean, green way for hybrid and electric car owners to recharge conveniently as they go about their errands such as stopping by the bank to make a deposit or withdrawal. The EV Charging Station is capable of recharging two vehicles simultaneously with reserved spaces for exclusive use. Dedham Savings welcomes visitors by making the EV Charging Station open to all.

The “Making Green Routine,” initiative has become “an integral part of the overall philosophy at Dedham Savings,” says CEO and President, Peter Brown. “We have a responsibility to think progressively, economically, and ethically, to pitch in and do our part to save energy and resources that otherwise might be wasted.” This includes the secure shredding and recycling of all paperwork that is discarded each day, efficient management of how the Bank uses utilities, and the endorsement of a campaign to reduce, recycle, and reuse which is promoted internally and externally through local events in the community. The average hybrid vehicle releases roughly 25% less CO2 equivalent emissions as compared to their conventional vehicle counterparts. Brown says, “This is just a small piece of larger efforts that create a culture shift in terms of how we think about our resources and our environment. ‘Making Green Routine’ really does have an impact. An investment in our planet is one of the proudest investments that we can make.”
