International certification according to ISO 50001 and ISO 14064
Our Energy Management System is certified to ISO 50001 since 2015. The international certification extends to all our activities, as well as our branches and offices.
In 2024 we achieved:
- 4.97% reduction in total energy consumption.
- 5.24% reduction in total energy consumption per employee.
- 2.77% reduction in total GHG emissions.
At the same time, 97.97% (33,085 MWh) of the electricity consumed by Eurobank in 2024 was generated by renewable energy sources (RES).
You can find these results in our Environmental Report and Annual Business and Sustainability Report.
Management method
To keep increasing the energy efficiency of Eurobank, we employ a very specific methodology, as we:
- Monitor the energy we use. We record and analyse these data.
- Identify our significant energy uses (SEU).
- Define and prioritise opportunities for improving our energy performance.
- Estimate the future energy uses and energy consumptions.
- Implement technical interventions and apply management solutions.
To improve our energy performance we use the Pay as You Save model, in partnership with an Energy Service Company (ESCO), as part of the Shared Savings Energy Performance Contract.
Technical interventions for energy savings
We plan and implement interventions contributing to the energy upgrade of our buildings and to enhanced energy savings by:
- Expanding our planning for central heating control in more buildings.
- Refurbishing our branches and equipment, including computers, lighting and HVAC systems.
- Energy self-production from rooftop PV stations installed on two of our buildings.
- Initiation of environmental licensing process for Standalone PV Parks.
- Installing energy meters in our buildings and branches.
20 buildings of the Bank are certified as “green” according to LEED/BREEAM standards. Certified properties have been included in the SBC Yearbook for Green Buildings.
This just further demonstrates in practice the exceptional work environment at Eurobank.
