A leading international bank in Armenia has pursued a major tree planting initiative in one residential community of Yerevan as part of its environmental pledge to encourage its customers to bank electronically.

Continuing the good tradition of tree planting initiated still back in 1996, HSBC Bank Armenia staff and their families on Sunday traveled to the Armenian capital’s Huisi Avan residential community where together with specialists from Armenia Tree Project and community members they planted 500 trees.
