Federal Minster commends Wilson National

The Federal Minister for the Environment and Water the Honorable Malcolm Turnbull MP has commended Wilson National for becoming the first home loan lender in Queensland to become carbon neutral and to offer green home loans.

The message from the Minister was read by the Federal Member for McPherson Margaret May MP, whilst The State Member for Currumbin Jann Stuckey MP presented Wilson National with a plaque to mark the milestone at a morning tea last month.

Wilson National Home Loans Managing Director says, "This is a significant milestone for our growing business. Becoming carbon neutral is about adopting best practice and giving customer's choice. And best of all our rates in 2007 are just as competitive as our homes loans that were listed in Australia's Best Home Loans 2006 by Your Mortgage Magazine."

"There are so many benefits by offering green home loans"

"We are absolutely thrilled The Federal Minister for the Environment and Water Mr Malcolm Turnbull MP sent a message from Canberra. We encourage all businesses to become carbon neutral, climate change is something that will continue to effect everyone, and is one of the best ways we can give back to the community," Geoff adds.

Wilson National Home Loans becoming carbon neutral is the equivalent of taking 21.2 cars off the M1 motorway or turning off 3,600 sixty watt light globes for one day.

There are three major outcomes from becoming carbon neutral, it gives customers a choice and it is the ultimate way to give back to the community. Furthermore, it adds value to the brokers and 'white label' customers, that use Wilson National Home Loans - because all Wilson National Home Loans carry the Pre-Green logo.

Wilson National Home Loans Communications Director Gordon Watson says, "There are so many benefits from offering green home loans. From a communications perspective, it allows our business to be a market leader, and position the company successfully in a number of niche markets."

Becoming carbon neutral involved an extensive carbon audit by the nationally recognised Carbon Reduction Institute (CRI). CRI assist businesses reduce and offset their carbon emissions to achieve a carbon neutral status.
