The environmental initiatives of Eurasian Bank continue in different regions of the country. Another campaign was held in Taraz, where the Bank employees planted 500 trees in two urban areas at once.

250 trees appeared on the alley of the Kazakh National University of Water Management and Irrigation, another 250 – on the territory of the Zhambyl Regional Multidisciplinary Center of Oncology and Surgery. As part of the campaign, fruit and ornamental trees were planted, including thuja, pines, lilac, quince, white maple and mulberry.

The main goal of the project is the greening of the urban environment, the improvement of the ecological situation and the formation of the ecological culture among young people. The Bank notes that such initiatives are gradually becoming a sustainable part of the corporate environmental agenda.

“It is important for us that environmental projects bring real benefits to cities and people. Landscaping of public and social facilities helps to make the urban environment more comfortable and favorable for residents. We are pleased to contribute to the development of such spaces and support environmental initiatives in the regions of Kazakhstan,” said Abdulkhafiz Umarov, Director of the Eurasian Bank Branch in Taraz.

Eurasian Bank is a member of Mastercard’s Priceless Planet Coalition global program, which unites more than 150 organizations worldwide. By 2030, its participants plan to plant 100 million trees worldwide.

In addition to participating in the Priceless Planet Coalition, the Bank issues a special Eco Card, transaction bonuses on which are used for landscaping projects.

Over the past year, more than 1, 000 trees were planted in Almaty, Astana and other cities of the country. For the Bank and its employees, this is becoming a good and sustainable tradition that not only improves the urban environment, but also unites people around the idea of caring for nature.
