2009 Bank of the West Classic

One of the nation’s 25 largest banks, Bank of the West was founded in San Jose 135 years ago. Bank of the West continues to be a strong participant in the local community, the kind of bank that provides great products and service while sponsoring great tennis. Based in San Francisco, Bank of the West is a full-service commercial bank with over $66 billion in assets and more than 700 banking locations in 19 Western and Midwestern states. Bank of the West originates commercial, small business and consumer loans and leases, offering a wide range of individual and other commercial banking, insurance, trust and investment products. Corporate parent BNP Paribas is rated by Standard & Poor’s as one of the six strongest banks in the world. More information is available at www.bankofthewest.com.

IMG and the Bank of the West are working with environmental consultants, FirmGreen, to help us minimize our impact and reduce our carbon footprint for the Bank of the West Classic. Greening the event starts with the basics- Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, but perhaps more importantly our goal is to create a collective consciousness to inspire individuals to make a change. Because at the end of the weekend, when the matches are done and the trophies are awarded, the common bond between the athletes and the general audience is the environment.
