Let’s preserve the environment together!

Take a step towards a greener tomorrow Dear Customer, It is said that ‘If we care for the environment, it will take care of us’. As a responsible corporate citizen, ICICI Bank has stepped up various Go Green initiatives in the last 3 years. On this World Environment Day, I am delighted to share with you a few initiatives taken by the bank to promote environmentally sustainable processes in banking and beyond.   Save energy: We have switched to energy efficient equipment to reduce our overall energy consumption by approximately 40% in towers and 28% in our branches. It is equivalent to lighting up more than 42,000 rural households. Solar systems installed at various offices, over 500 branches and 200 ATMs have helped us enhance our renewable energy portfolio. Together, these initiatives have minimised our overall carbon emission by 40,000 tonnes.   Go digital. Go paperless: We are grateful to you for accepting digitisation of various banking services offered by ICICI Bank. We have reduced overall paper consumption by 25%, saving over 10,000 trees.
