Green Company

The Green Company project strives to improve public awareness of the methods and importance of recycling electrical appliances, and solves the lack of places in the Czech Republic where people – company employees can dispose of their old electrical household appliances. The aim of the Green Company project is to protect the environment by ensuring the collection and effective recycling of old electrical appliances. These contain many dangerous substances such as mercury, lead, cadmium, bromide combustion retarders and others, as well as a large amount of recyclable and reusable materials.

This is a unique project, the first of its kind in the Czech Republic, which offers companies the opportunity of fulfilling their social responsibility program. The project was officially launched in early February 2008.

Česká spořitelna became involved in the “Green Company” project in June 2008, thus allowing its employees to get rid of used small electrical appliances, batteries, toners and cartridges in an ecological manner. Collection bins are located in 44 buildings of Česká spořitelna across the country.
