VUB - THINKING GREEN
VUB green thinking in numbers:
Thanks to digitalization, VUB is saving up to 15 million sheets of paper and more than 5 million envelopes a
year, which is equal to 100 tons of paper what represent a forest of 1,700 trees
In September 2020, VUB became the general partner of the Slovakia Going Zero Waste conference for the first
time
A new grant program of the VUB Foundation for the Environment which has never had an equivalent in
Slovakia, in the amount of EUR 100,000 distributed within December 2020
The program supports projects in areas that have a major impact on the current state and future development of our
country and society in areas of Biodiversity protection and Green economy
The capital Bratislava has launched one of the largest tree planting projects in its modern history. By 2022, 10,000
trees are to be planted in Bratislava and three new city alleys are to be built. VUB Foundation took the
opportunity to help first by assigning almost EUR 40,000 for this purpose
As a green bank, VUB is proud to present „ATLAS" - an award of VUB Foundation for those who protect
Slovak nature. With the ATLAS award, VUB would like to appreciate the important efforts of everyone who has
decided to bear the burden of saving our planet and not give up this difficult task, and to appreciate such efforts with a
grant of 4 x EUR 10,000 that will ensure the continuation of promising environmental projects in Slovakia
