At the end of March, the MosBuild-2023 international exhibition was held at Crocus Expo as part of the GreenBuilding-2023 conference. Mr. Alexander Dolganov, an expert from Center-invest Bank, spoke about the Bank’s green projects for individuals and companies.

The MosBuild-2023 international exhibition brought together over 1,000 exponents, including the National Center for PPP and DOM.RF. At the plenary session «Green Construction in 2023», Mr. Alexander Dolganov, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Center-invest Bank, presented the advantages of the Green Home Loan Programme for individuals and companies and spoke about the bank’s objectives in assessing the carbon footprint when financing real estate transactions.

The Bank’s Green Home Loan product offers the opportunity to purchase energy-efficient homes and offices at a lower interest rate. For home loans, the Bank has introduced a methodology to estimate the carbon footprint — the amount of carbon dioxide emissions from the projected consumption of all energy resources by the apartment building. In March 2023, the Bank managed to estimate the emissions for 293 loans in total amount of 1,065 million roubles.

Energy efficiency and green projects are important components of our ESG strategy. Center-invest Bank finances energy efficiency projects in the agriculture, trade, manufacturing, transport, construction, services, utilities and private housing sectors.
