Center-invest Bank Goes Greener
Center-invest Bank has acquired an international “green certificate” to receive electricity from the Staromaryevskaya Solar Power Plant, Stavropol region. By purchasing 1,600 MW, our bank brought now consumes up 40% of electricity from the renewable energy sources.
“Green certificates” are issued by renewable energy producers and document the consumption of such energy. The certificate is to finance “green” energy production and allows Center-invest Bank to balance the consumed energy from non-renewable sources.
Center-invest Bank keeps track of resource consumption and steadily continues to reduce its carbon footprint. We purchased our first “green certificates” in 2021 to bring the share of consumed renewable source energy to 25%. Since 2020, the bank has been using solar panels on the roof of its head office. The energy generated goes to ensure the operation of a round-the-clock office used for people servicing and entrepreneurs’ self-encashment.
