Some green initiatives at the Bank’s premises

In Fiscal 2025, ICICI Bank installed AWG (Atmospheric Water Generators) units at four more premises: One each in Bengaluru and Mumbai and two in Chennai. The Bank had installed the first AWG at its regional office in Gachibowli, Hyderabad, in March 2023. These five installations have a cumulative capacity of producing 8,000 litres of potable water per day and these benefit about 4,200 employees. This initiative has reduced ICICI Bank’s reliance on packaged water while effectively utilising atmospheric moisture

During FY2026, ICICI Bank replaced 2,567 older air conditioning units using R-22 hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerant gas with eco-friendly 5-star-rated units using energy-efficient R-32 hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) gas for air-conditioning systems, which has approximately one-third of Global Warming Potential (GWP) of R-22. The Bank also replaced CO2 fire extinguishers with dry chemical powder-based extinguishers, which have lower direct climate impact. These initiatives contributed to a 32.0% reduction in Scope 1 emissions, from 26,337 tCO2e in FY2025 to 17,895 tCO2e in FY2026, partly driven by lower refilling of refrigerants due to favourable weather conditions during the year.

India’s first ‘IGBC’ Platinum Net Zero Rated Building, ICICI Bank Rural Self Employment Training Institute (RSETI) building at Jodhpur, was commissioned in September 2019. It uses only renewable energy and harnesses available natural resources. It also serves as a model for recycling and reusing of water and waste, without compromising on aesthetics and functionality

ICICI Bank’s new digital banking space ‘Digiverse’ at BKC in Mumbai, Maharashtra, is powered by green energy

The Bank has introduced several measures to enable waste reduction and recycling at the Service Centre in BKC, Mumbai. These have led to the Service Centre getting a rating of ‘Net Zero Waste’ in the category of ‘Net Zero Waste to Landfill (Operations)’ by IGBC.
