Yes Bank, India’s fifth largest private sector bank, has successfully completed ISO 14001 certification for 79 of its locations including all major branches and 3 corporate offices. In 2014, it became the first bank in India to qualify for ISO 14001:2004 Certification, and with this recognition, remains the only bank in India to be certified under the world’s leading environmental management system.
The ISO 14001:2004 certification is an international endorsement towards environmental management and would serve as a practical toolbox to assist implementation of sustainable development actions.
The certification has been awarded by Bureau Veritas, a global leader in conformity assessment and certification services. Bureau Veritas, post a rigorous audit, confirmed that the bank has firmly embedded environmental considerations in all its operations to efficiently manage its environmental and operational risks.
