HSBC Building a Greener and Sustainable Business in Armenia

YEREVAN (Source: HSBC Bank Armenia CJSC)--HSBC Bank Armenia CJSC staff participated in a tree planting on April 12 in Yerevan in the area near Tsitsernakaberd.

Employees of the bank decided to conduct a campaign for raising awareness on how they could limit the impact of climate change in ways that benefit our communities, cities, and the environment worldwide. With the help of Armenia Tree Project (ATP), HSBC Armenia hopes to encourage not only its employees but the whole community to volunteer time and energy in activities related to the environment.

Within the scope of HSBC Climate Partnership, HSBC Armenia has launched a number of environmental actions in its offices such as recycling and energy saving. All HSBC offices recycle waste paper and are engaged in reducing electricity use. HSBC Armenia encourages extensive employee engagement in these activities to cultivate an understanding that small contributions by many people can add up to an important total input on the environment.

Corporate Responsibility has been a vital ingredient in HSBC’s 140 years of success. The company has always maintained that its first social responsibility is to be successful, which allows it to invest in new products and services.

HSBC Bank Armenia CJSC was the first international bank to open in Armenia in 1996. The bank is a joint venture between the HSBC Group, which has 70 percent ownership, and members of overseas Armenian businesses. HSBC Bank Armenia CJSC has 10 offices in Yerevan, as well as 39 ATMs located throughout the city. The bank serves 41,050 customers and has 357 employees.
