Credit Agricole supported campaign “Earth Hour” and donated 15 000 young plants to Kyiv

Credit Agricole traditionally supported campaign “Earth Hour”, donated 15 000 young plants to the Holosiivskyi National Park and helped to plant a part of it. In the context of the quarantine and increased safety measures, this year’s initiative was not that large-scale as usually. Additionally, as part of the environmental campaign, illumination on facades of several bank offices was turned off for an hour for unity with the Planet on March 27.   

“Credit Agricole cares about the environment and follows the principles of sustainable growth. We implement our own Climate Strategy and for the fifth year in a row have been participating in greening of the city within the framework of the “Earth Hour”. Thanks to this initiative 62 000 new trees have appeared in the city and new format outlets became carbon neutral! We show by example how important it is to contribute to the development of society and eco culture. Be thoughtful for yourselves and our Planet!” commented Yurii Dziuba, Head of the General Services Department of Credit Agricole Bank. 

Support of ecological projects and green initiatives is an important part of the Social Corporate Responsibility program «We Care!», as well as the Climate Strategy of the Group under which the bank intends to reduce its carbon footprint by 10% during 2018–2022 and be among TOP 3 green banks of Ukraine.
