Today is World Bee Day and Nova KBM welcomed five bee families, who have found a new home in the urban beehive on the roof of our office building in Maribor.

At Nova KBM, we plant and preserve trees and do paperless business

Nova KBM joined the recent Slovenia-wide tree planting campaign Rejuvenate our Forests that was organized by the Slovenian state-owned forests company Slovenski državni gozdovi. Together with our family members, Bank employees planted more than 1000 tree saplings in Kidričevo, Rakov Škocjan and Trojane that will now grow and bind carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas that is the main culprit of global warming and adverse climate change.
