The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) Limited, Bangladesh is undertaking initiatives to promote 'Green Banking'. Our initiatives are aligned with Bangladesh Bank's "Guidelines on Environment Risk Management". As part of our continuous efforts to go green, we are going to discontinue sending paper-printed account statements and half-yearly balance confirmation advices to customers starting from 31 October 2011. However, our Internet Banking service allows you to view, download and save your account statements - free of any charge.
It takes 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy and 7000 gallons of water altogether - to produce just 1 ton of paper. Worldwide, millions of account statements are produced each year - needing 25 tons of paper annually - for which an entire football-field-sized forest is cleared every year!
To alleviate this situation and help save our environment, we are sure that you would want to play your small part.
As the world's leading international bank, HSBC brings together the best of global knowledge and banking expertise, as well as the very best in banking experience.
Your kind co-operation in the aforesaid noble endeavour is solicited. For any queries, please contact our Call Centre at 01199 88HSBC (4722).
