PASHA Bank’s traditional eco-friendly activity on New Year to congratulate its partners

For the third year in a row PASHA Bank congratulates its partners and employees on New Year with a CSR “green” activity. This time the Bank has planted 2019 Georgian Oak (Quercus Iberica) and Imeretian Oak (Quercus Imeretina) trees, the latter of which is in the Red List of threatened species of plants.

Previous years we planted 2018 and 2017 Pine Trees in Borjomi Forest as a New Year present.
