The SBI net-zero target is set for 2055, when the country’s largest lender will mark its centenary year, Chairman Challa Sreenivasulu Setty said.
Setty announced the target after flagging off the fifth edition of the SBI Green Marathon in Mumbai on Sunday, according to a bank statement.
The event saw participation from more than 10,000 runners across the 5 km, 10 km and 21 km categories.
SBI plans Green Marathon events across nine cities
SBI plans to organise similar Green Marathon events in nine other cities: Visakhapatnam, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Pune, Guwahati, Bhubaneswar and Patna.
Several running personalities, including Vinod Kumar Sharma, Barun Kumar, Vishak Krishnaswamy, Ashish Arya, Sarika Jain, Raj Gandhi and Rinkoo Singh, attended the Mumbai event.
The bank’s net-zero ambition coincides with its 100th year of existence in 2055.
