130 Southeastern Europe (SEE) Since 2015, Raiffeisen BANK dd Bosna i Hercegovina has been aiming to improve coordination between departments with regard to business trips with the same destination, in order to save on journeys where possible. Company cars are filled with the biofuel available in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Raiffeisenbank (Bulgaria) EAD pursues a strict travel policy and introduced a guideline on “carpooling” in 2013. At the same time, the bank reduced the number of company vehicles by about 20 percent. Bicycles are provided to employees at the head office of Raiffeisen Bank S.A. in Romania. The vehicle fleet was also replaced in 2014 with more environmentally friendly vehicles. Three hybrid vehicles were purchased in 2016; one e-car should be added in 2017. As in previous years, the bank continued to support the bicycle sharing program in cooperation with Green Revolution (www.greenrevolution.ro), which is available in nine Romanian cities. Eastern Europe (EE) In 2014, Priorbank JSC in Belarus established the program “Fit for Future 2016” with measures to reduce business travel. AO Raiffeisenbank in Russia updated its internal business travel policy in 2015, which is still applicable. Raiffeisen Bank Aval JSC in Ukraine is taking measures to reduce business trips. If such trips cannot be avoided, then public transportation is used for them whenever possible. We began purchasing more environmentally friendly vehicles for the fleet in 2016. Parcel service and transport of goods The parcel service and transport of goods has been included in the report since 2015 as a result of the improved data situation. This indicator has an effect on Scope 1 and 3 emissions and accounts for a share of approx. six percent of all emissions of the RZB Group. Purchasing is partly centrally controlled for the whole RBI Group by RBI AG, which is why kilometers traveled (including the resultant emissions) were equally distributed among the regions (a more exact allocation was not possible due to the data situation). According to the latest data, parcel service and transport of goods amounts to a total of around 1,227,230 tkm (tonne kilometers; tkm are calculated from the transported mass in tonnes and the distance covered in kilometers). Waste The quantity of waste produced by the RZB Group amounts to about 2,947 tonnes per year or 133 kg/employee and consists of 94 percent non-hazardous waste. Fortunately, the “Waste” sector has a share of just three percent of total emissions of the RZB Group, which is why no further details will be presented here. You can find further details on our website at www.rbinternational.com. 37 percent of waste is brought to landfill sites, approx. 31 percent is incinerated and 26 percent recycled. Electrical devices have a share of about six percent. Hazardous waste, like electrical devices, is correctly disposed of. Central Europe has the biggest share in total waste produced with 33 percent or 956 tonnes. The lowest amount of waste is produced by the central institute and specialized subsidiaries with five percent or 151 tonnes of total waste/year. RBI AG also has the largest amount of waste in terms of the number of employees, with 158 kg/ employee. Southeastern Europe reported the lowest waste per employee of 124 kg/employee.
