At Live Oak, we don’t see corporate social responsibility as a box to be checked. We see it as an incredible opportunity to create a vibrant future. We believe that taking a holistic approach to doing good is the only way to truly make an impact and set a new standard of excellence. Our commitment to belonging, access to capital, resiliency, sustainability, and responsibility is not just a matter of obligation, it’s a matter of vision. We want to be leaders in our industry, in our communities, and for each other. We’re working to harness the power of small business to drive positive change, and to make a lasting impact that transcends short-term gains. So, take some time to see what we’re up to and together we’ll bank a brighter future for all, one customer at a time.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Doing Good is Good Business
"This company was founded upon the belief that we can all have a meaningful impact. Live Oakers value doing the right thing and we want to showcase who we are and where we are going. We’re on an important mission to serve others well, and we’re excited to share our dedication both internally and externally to deliver that promise.”
– Chip Mahan, Chairman and CEO
PRIORITIZING IMPACT
Since Live Oak’s inception, this work has been embedded in everything we do, and we know we have further to go. We’re continually pushing ourselves to do more for our employees, our customers, our community and beyond. In 2020, we formalized our approach around five components: employees, customers, community, sustainability and governance. This approach enables us to focus on areas where we can have a measurable and positive impact. We encourage you to explore our key CSR objectives, metrics and stories that capture the heart of what we do as America’s small business bank.
