When implementing innovative technologies into business processes and customer service, FUIB supports “green” standards and makes its contribution to the preservation of the environment. 

Not only are self-service systems in the bank convenient for customers and profitable for business, but they are also beneficial to the environment. FUIB provides clients with the possibility to be served remotely in mobile banking and in self-service terminals. This is a significant economy of natural resources and energy that would be required for the operation of the branches. In 2021, 1.2 million customers actively used FUIB's online banking (+66% for the year). In 2022, the number of active users of the convenient application remained the same.

FUIB employees make efforts to preserve the environment every day:

  • apply the principles of the "Green Office": save energy and paper, make optimal use of equipment, use electronic document management procedures, and collect waste paper;
  • participate in environmental initiatives.

In 2021-2022, FUIB continued to work on energy conservation. At the head office, the following was carried out: replacement of traditional lighting sources with energy-saving (LED) ones; insulation of premises and sealing of windows, doors and roofs; installation of equipment for regulating the heat supply to existing heating devices. LED panels consume 2.5 times less electricity, do not contain harmful substances and have a long service life of up to 30 thousand hours. When new branches were opened, ventilation equipment with recovery was installed, which returns up to 70% of the heat from the exhaust air, which saves electricity. The total electricity consumption in 2021 decreased by 406,751 kWh compared to the previous year. Electricity consumption in 2022 decreased by 1,042,731 kWh compared to 2021. Significant savings were achieved by meeting the requirements of light masking, disabling outdoor advertising, as well as by losing some branches or suspending their operation.

​In 2021, the bank handed over for recycling 93.7 tons of paper (36% reduction in paper use over the year). In 2022, 81.5 tons of paper were recycled.

In 2021, FUIB transferred 10.6 tons of hazardous waste for recycling, as well as 0.2 tons of plastic bank cards (reduction of plastic by 87% over the year, including through the introduction of virtual cards). In 2022, the bank also transferred 0.2 tons of plastic for recycling, and 5.2 tons of hazardous waste for disposal.

In 2021-22, the bank's head office continued to collect used batteries. In total, 12 kg of batteries were collected and transferred for recycling in 2021. In 2022, few batteries were collected due to the war and were not
transferred for recycling.

The bank invested UAH 700,000 in household waste collection and hazardous waste disposal in 2021 and UAH 428,907 in 2022.
