The Eco-Efficiency Management Program has been underway since 2010, aimed at generating greater value for stakeholders with a lower environmental impact by means of improved environmental performance, compliance with relevant legislation and reduced expenses.

The program contains a set of specific measures and targets related to energy, water, paper, waste, plastics and greenhouse gases (GHG), with adoption planned over the last five years. The targets, based on indicators, consider value generation (book value of net income) by the Organization and the environmental impact in each area monitored.

Bradesco ended the 2010/2015 Cycle of the Eco-Efficiency Steering Plan having reached all the targets set and facing the challenge of continuing the improvement process with the implantation of a new cycle for 2016/2018. All the indicators are compiled and analyzed on a quarterly basis and part of the data go into the GHG emissions inventory prepared annually in accordance with the ABNT NBR ISO 14064-3 standard.

See the following goals and targets:

GOALS AND TARGETS FOR 2016
Corporate target – reduce energy consumption by 2.4% (against 2015)
Corporate target – reduce water consumption by 4.2% (against 2015)
GOALS AND TARGETS FOR 2015
  Status JUSTIFICATION
Implantation of dry vehicle washing for the bank’s own fleet and an average of 20 leased cars, reducing water consumption by 1,187 liters on average per day and by 35,595 liters on average per month. Achieved In addition to the reduction in water and energy consumption, the vehicle engine is no longer turned on to move it into the washing area, avoiding damage and the need to release the driver in the system; the exit checklist is no longer printed (saving approximately 6,500 sheets of bond paper).
Implantation of Sealed Drain (daily safety procedure used on main fuel tank and helicopter fuel nozzles), avoiding manual contact and saving around 370 liters of fuel per month. Achieved Average reduction of 176 liters/month in the disposal of aviation fuel. There was a reduction in the number of flights and the operation now uses two helicopters.
Bradesco Vida e Previdência
GOALS AND TARGETS FOR 2016
Expand use of the BVP Next tool Personal insurance policies (the use of BVP Next significantly reduces the volume of printing necessary for proposals because the forms are available online for the broker. The proposal is only printed when the sale is completed, to ensure compliance with all regulatory standards. Moreover, the tools make product updating faster and eliminate the cost of purging printed material. The expansion of the use of this tool is underway, helping to reduce the stock of printed proposal forms and optimizing the entire sales process).
Offer of Bradesco Expresso products via POS – point of sale (The immediate and simplified production of the documents for the insurance policies contracted using this tool helps to boost the supply of mass market policies in particular, making the insurance offered via this sales channel tangible in an effective and legal manner. Moreover, the channel enables a reduction in the amount of printed material, such as printed proposals and post-sale materials. The proposal is to improve the offer of insurance via this channel, helping reduce the volume of printed proposals and optimizing the entire sales process).
