SBERBANK
170 YEARS. BY YOUR SIDE
ANNUAL REPORT
REDUCING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT
Making Cities Greener
In 2011, Sberbank took a number of steps to make Russia's cities greener. The Yugo-
Zapadny, Srednerussky, Vostochno-Sibirsky and Dalnevostochny Banks all participated
in programmes to plant hundreds of trees (maple, apple, birch, willow, fir, aspen and
other types of tree), arranged mini-parks in public places and paved roads with stone
blocks. Small monuments and plaques commemorating Sberbank's 170th anniversary
were installed in many parks. Local young people, NGOs and municipal officials joined
Sberbank employees in their green efforts. Our initiative was greatly appreciated by
local residents, many of whom are our customers, and the local authorities.
Consumption
In 2011, as a part of the Bank's environmental management system,
we adopted a Regulation on Operational Environmental Monitoring.
All regional banks have prepared Action Plans for Environmental
Protection and Rational Resource Use for 2012. We are currently
developing an integrated database to collect and consolidate data
about the Bank's environmental performance.

MANAGING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Even though we have less of an effect on the environment than in-
dustrial companies, we still pay significant attention to minimizing
our own environmental impact. So as to develop and implement an
effective set of measures in this field, we need to manage our impact
on the environment through monitoring and analysis.
For its corporate stationary, the Bank uses paper produced without
the use of environmentally harmful bleaching agents. The Bank
consumes about 400 tonnes of stationary produced using such paper
each year.
We produce waste in the process of our operations like any other
major business. At our premises we run a separated waste collection
system, which at our Central Head Office alone has helped save at
least RUB 8 million.

Given the scale and geography of the Bank's operations, car, rail and air travel by
our employees is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Seeking to reduce
both emissions and costs, we, wherever possible, replace business travel with video
conferencing, IP conference calls and other solutions based on the latest information
and communications technology. Moreover, by developing remote service channels,
we reduce the need for our customers to travel to our outlets.
