“Eco Charge”: Bank Kompanion among Top 3 Green Leaders in Bishkek
From April 15 to June 5, 2025, the city of Bishkek hosted the environmental campaign "Eco Charge", focused on collecting used batteries — one of the most hazardous types of household waste.
The campaign was initiated by "Tvoy Zaryad" with the support of the Bishkek Mayor’s Office, Municipal Enterprise "Tazalyk", the Department of Education, and Bishkek Sanitary Landfill.
Small actions — big responsibility
The team at Bank Kompanion actively joined the initiative, setting up internal collection points across all offices. For six weeks, employees brought in used batteries from home and encouraged colleagues, friends, and family to participate.
As a result, Bank Kompanion ranked among the top three organizations in Bishkek for the volume of batteries collected.
Why does it matter?
A single battery can pollute up to 20 square meters of soil and contaminate underground water sources. Participating in campaigns like this is a way to care for the environment and foster a culture of sustainability in society.
For its significant social contribution, Bank Kompanion received an official Certificate of Appreciation from the organizers. Yet for our team, the greatest reward was being part of a real, meaningful cause.
ESG in action
The “Eco Charge” campaign is part of Bank Kompanion’s broader Environmental ESG practices.
Our goals include:
- reducing ecological footprint;
- promoting sustainable habits among staff;
- fostering partnerships with public and civic institutions.
Sustainability is not a one-time event — it's a daily choice.
And we’re proud that more and more of our colleagues are making that choice every day.
