Recycle paper – save trees’

The Central Bank implements a waste paper recycling sub-project under the motto ‘Recycle paper – save trees’. The goal of the project is to deliver the paper to recycling companies contributing to environmental and nature protection by channelling the waste paper to re-production. The project in question allows to deliver about 4 ton of paper to recycling over a year, which prevents cutting off of at least 60 trees for industrial purposes a year.

Volunteering Bank employees pass a medical check for the blood donation action, carried out by the employees of the Azerbaijan Thalassemia Federation and the mobile task force of the Central Blood Bank of the Scientific Research Hematology and Trans-Physiology Institute named after B.A.Eyvazov.
