INTERVIEW
Stanislav Kuznetsov
Member and Deputy Chairman
of the Management Board
ven though Sberbank's operation have no major en-
vironmental impact, the scale and pace at which our business is
developing dictate that we must pay particular attention to energy
and resource efficiency. We strive to use the most advanced resource-
efficient technologies and we see programmes aimed at improving
energy efficiency as one of our priorities.
We operate considerable office infrastructure, a fact that makes us
one of Russia's largest developers. In all of our development work,
be it constructing new facilities or reformatting our existing outlets,
we employ the latest and most advanced methods to minimise any
environmental impact.
We recognise that reducing environmental impact is not only impor-
tant for the environment itself, but that it also helps reduce costs,
making our business more competitive. We understand the impor-
tance of monitoring and analysing our environmental impact, which
is why we pay particular attention to our industrial environmental
monitoring system.
>> One of our most significant achievements
in 2011 was that we were able to bid farewell
to a huge legacy of unfinished construction
projects that had been delayed by reasons out
of our control
Sberbank has always been involved in several major, long-term con-
struction projects spanning periods of five to eight years, or sometimes
even fifteen, as was the case in Vladivostok. Over the past year, we
worked together with our regional banks to implement a programme
aimed at tackling the issue of unfinished construction projects. I can
now proudly say all our projects are running smoothly as planned in
a controlled fashion. This is very important in the context of our plans
to reformat our customer service outlets and transform the back of-
fice function.
In 2011, we completed the construction of several major infrastructure
facilities. In designing our new infrastructure, we think not of tomor-
row's world, but further into the future, I could perhaps call it "the
day after tomorrow". Once construction is complete and Sberbank
employees show up for their first day of work at our new facilities, we
want them to have access to tomorrow's technologies and solutions.
This is what drives us to incorporate the most advanced technologies,
including energy efficiency solutions, into our projects. Last year we
implemented several projects of note in this area. The most important
170 YEARS. IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING
