mBank is an organization which cares for the natural environment. For the last few years we have been involved in the “#mBank Is Eco-Friendly” project. This motto encompasses the initiatives we take to reduce our (direct and indirect) impact on both the climate and the environment.
These include campaigns for employees and a devoted site on mBank’s intranet where we foster environmental awareness, promote green attitudes and generate new ideas making us even more eco-friendly. We also undertake systemic initiatives to reduce our consumption of resources such as water, energy and paper, and eliminate the use of plastics.
In 2020 we decided not to print any leaflets and instead to advertise our services to clients electronically. This decision enables us to save five tons of paper annually. In addition, the launch of a print management system and the smooth transition of most employees to home working allowed us to save four million A4 paper sheets.
The COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences made us realise that we can cope well with less. Guided by this thought and aware of the environmental and climatic challenges, we decided not to give and accept Christmas gifts, starting from 2020. This enables us to save considerable amounts of paper, water, electricity, and reduce the use of plastics and greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, we decrease our negative environmental impact resulting from transporting the gifts and cards, as in the previous years. All this will also reduce the stress and workload often experienced by employees during the Christmas rush, and make our relationships with clients, partners and suppliers more transparent.
New headquarters of mBank
Since November 20, 2020, the new headquarters is located at the Prosta 18 street, Warsaw. mBank is the main tenant of the 140-meter tower, a part of Mennica Legacy Tower complex in the center of Warsaw. The building is eco-friendly and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. mBank Tower (a name chosen by the employees) is also rich in various ecological solutions, minimizing the energy usage and our impact on the environment, confirmed by the highly regarded BREEAM certificate. The garage located underground can accommodate 300 bikes.
