ABOUT US Open Search Busey Bank Menu Our Values in Action 150+ Years of Trusted Relationships and Thriving Communities Corporate Social Responsibility The Busey promise began when we first opened our doors in 1868. Our founders were leaders that understood the significance of economic prosperity and the importance of playing a role in bettering the communities we call home. That was over 150 years ago. Since then, Busey has built a tradition of outstanding service through close relationships and broad financial capabilities. Featuring that purposeful action and civic responsibility, Busey is pleased to present its first-ever Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. Addressing topics such as ethics & governance, diversity & inclusion, social responsibility and environmental sustainability, the Busey CSR report examines Busey’s commitment to the associates, customers and communities we serve. Busey’s introductory report is particularly meaningful amidst the unprecedented COVID-19 fallout. The updated policies, service models and support structures Busey employed to care for our associates, customers and communities are also summarized within. This report provides a comprehensive look at our values in action—detailing initiatives to support our 4 Pillars, showcasing Busey’s efforts towards: DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION ASSOCIATE ENGAGEMENT CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY Busey is committed to attracting and retaining talent across a variety of backgrounds and experiences. A diverse team—one with varying beliefs and opinions—promotes productivity and creativity, while better meeting and exceeding the needs of a diverse customer base. Busey engages in an array of local recruiting efforts to reach an expanded talent pool, such as partnering with the University of Illinois’ Disability Resources & Educational Services Department (serving those with visible and invisible disabilities), the Illinois Job Network (focusing on veterans seeking employment), BankTalentHQ (a partnership with the Illinois Bankers Association that shares our listings throughout thousands of sites, specifically targeting diverse groups), Illinois Hires Heroes Consortium (a group committed to recruiting, hiring and retaining veterans) and SLATE (a firm with a diversity- and data-based approach to executive and C-suite recruiting). Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging training is available to all associates, regardless of their position with the company. Annual Compliance Training and corresponding course assessments are required of all Busey associates, which includes courses on elder financial abuse, Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) activities, fair lending and more.
