The private bank announced its goal to become carbon neutral by 2031-32 in June this year. It is looking at reducing its emissions, energy, and water consumption. To reach its target, the bank is looking to increase rooftop solar capacity in large offices, convert 50% of its sourced electricity to renewable energy, make its corporate offices free of single-use plastic, plant 2.5 million trees and reduce water consumption by 30%. As part of the initiative, the HDFC Bank will offer loans on green products like electric vehicles at a lower interest rate.
