The Green Pulse – Sri Lanka’s Largest Bank to Disclose Their Emissions

In 2015, People’s Bank embarked on a sustainability journey to measure, manage and mitigate its environmental footprint by launching a formal environmental sustainability policy, called ‘People’s Green Pulse’, which guided the institution to achieve its aspirations for a greener future through focused environmental management initiatives.

As a initial step, the bank implemented a sustainability framework that spans across all divisions of the organisation, including the head office, regional offices and the entire branch network.

To commence the ‘People’s Green Pulse’ programme, we helped execute an extensive carbon management programme that was systematically spread out over a three-year period was conducted, which lead to People’s Bank reducing the carbon footprint of its organisational operations.
