HNB announced its latest achievements in sustainability, underscoring its commitment to environmental stewardship and a greener future for Sri Lanka.
In a bold move underscoring its dedication to a sustainable future, HNB has earmarked funds from its successful paper recycling program to support a series of ambitious green projects commencing in 2024. The initiatives will enhance energy efficiency, promote renewable energy, and reduce carbon footprint.
The bank implemented innovative initiatives and forward-thinking strategies to position itself as a critical driver in the nation’s journey towards sustainability. HNB achieved a significant reduction in paper consumption by 60 per cent through its aggressive push towards digitalization and waste minimization efforts. Moreover, the successful paper recycling program mitigated its ecological footprint while supporting future sustainability projects financially.
K Indravasan, CHRO/Head of the Sustainable Business Unit, stated, “Our dedication to sustainability reflects our commitment to our community and the planet. The progress we’ve made and our plans for 2024 underscore our aim to lead in environmental excellence, contributing to a more sustainable Sri Lanka.”
HNB has always worked towards integrating sustainability into its core operations, setting a precedent for corporate responsibility in Sri Lanka and contributing to preserving natural resources.
For several years, the bank’s #Walk the Talk initiative, a cornerstone of HNB’s sustainability efforts, has significant ly promoted environmental awareness and sustainable living among its employees and the wider community. This program, emblematic of HNB’s long-term commitment to ecological stewardship, encourages sustainable commuting options, such as walking and cycling, effectively reducing individual carbon footprint and fostering a culture of health a nd env i r onment a l responsibility.
