Neha, as Heonjun have mentioned, it seems like the Doha bank have made a courageous decision, even making economic sacrifice! I hope the money saved from green credit cards be used properly to places where it is needed the most. Thanks for sharing such information and have a splendid day!

I thought the campaign and benefit seemed rather plain and ordinary till i read the last part that one percent of the total spending is donated to a green cause. That's a big sacrifice for the company! Many banks and telecommunication companies I know are already undergoing procedure to minimize useless paper waste such as those you've mentioned up there, as it benefits the companies themselves as well. But 1% donation is beyond that level. Thanks for letting us know!

It's great how the Doha bank has innovative ways to save the environment. There's an annual list of greenest banks in the world and there's this bank called Banco Santander in Spain which usually has the top rank. They follow similar initiatives as well. Thank you for the report!
