ProCredit Bank Bosnia and Herzegovina is adopting an approach to better understand and improve the sustainability of its own energy use and environmental impact. As part of this effort, the Bank has implemented in-house energy and resource efficiency measures which apply to both technology and behaviour. The Bank takes a systematic approach to informing staff about energy efficiency and renewable energy. In addition, employees are kept informed about relevant environmental issues, plans on measures to be taken to increase the efficient use of energy and resources, as well as results of actions and activities undertaken via intranet and e-mail.
