The environmental initiatives of Eurasian Bank continue in different regions of the country. Another campaign was held in Arkalyk, where the Bank employees planted 90 trees on the territory of the Arkalyk Regional Hospital, one of the key medical institutions in the Kostanay Region.

30 maples, 30 pines and 30 pyramidal poplars appeared on the hospital grounds. New trees decorate the space of the medical facility, where residents of Arkalyk and the southern districts of the region receive daily care.

“For us, environmental projects are an opportunity to do something useful and tangible for the cities and towns where we live and work. It is especially important to support regional hospitals, where people seek help every day. We hope that in a few years this territory will become even more cozy, green and comfortable for patients, doctors and residents of the town,” said Kyrmyzy Zhanbyrshina, Director of the Eurasian Bank Branch of in Kostanay.

The Head of the Arkalyk Regional Hospital, Nurlybek Izetov, also stressed the importance of the initiative:

“A hospital is a place where people especially need comfort and tranquility. When the area becomes more green and well-maintained, it has a positive effect on both patients and staff. We thank Eurasian Bank for its attention to our region and support for such initiatives,” he said.

Arkalyk Regional Hospital is a multidisciplinary medical institution, which includes a polyclinic, inpatient departments, a maternity ward, intensive care, surgery, a stroke center, infectious diseases and children’s departments, as well as modern diagnostic services.

Eurasian Bank is a socially important commercial bank in Kazakhstan, one of the ten largest in terms of assets. The Bank is a member of Mastercard 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 have been 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.
