Savings Tips

Nowadays, in any part of the world, the issue of environmental crisis and the planet's sustainability is imperative,  people want to be aligned with the planet's sustainability and inculcate habits that generate savings. And many of them prefer to consume and be customers of organizations (including banking institutions) that are aligned with environmental and social criteria, such as Caixa. That is why in this edition we bring tips for those who want to save without forgetting sustainability, green, and the planet's balance.
 
Remember: the biggest saving is in the management of everyday expenses. 

Get to know some tips for saving at home and also at the office that we have selected for those who want and need to save money.
Tips for saving at home
Saving water is essential, especially in a country like Cape Verde where drinking water is an expensive and scarce resource. Apart from helping the country and the planet, saving water reduces the cost at the end of the month. 

Some tips include:

Turn off taps while brushing your teeth or while in the shower applying shampoo. 

Reuse water to water plants.   

If possible, change light bulbs to economical ones and save up to 30% of the electricity bill. By doing that, you are being environmentally friendly which is an important thing in the long term.

Learn how you can reuse products. Check out on the Internet how to give a second life to everyday things at home.

Manage the use of credit well. You should consider and calculate credit card and installment purchases to ensure that your savings are sustainable. Discover the Caixa Debit and Credit Card.
Tips for saving in the Office
Make use of the 3Rs: Reuse, Recycle, and Reduce. 

For example, use recycled paper whenever possible and avoid unnecessary printing. If you need to print, use the double-sided option and use draft sheets. Be paperless. 

Use reusable water bottles to replace plastic cups.

Make use of natural light to illuminate your space. Besides benefiting work performance, it also prevents eye fatigue. Instead of using artificial light, it is advisable to choose LED lighting for greater energy efficiency.

Coloring your office green brings joy and creates a pleasant and motivating environment. Use plants in your office to help regulate the environment due to the humidity they contain and the fact that they can absorb some of the radioactivity generated by electronic devices.   
Invest in conscious consumption for sustainability
Saving, by consuming consciously, does not mean going through some scarcity. It is about having financial goals today to spend with sustainability upfront. In conscious consumption, your choices take into account environmental concerns and the impact that our way of consuming causes on the planet. It means that as a consumer you take into account the balance between personal satisfaction and your financial constraints during your purchasing decision. Normalize conscious consumption to be able to save more.
Choose a "green" Banck
Nowadays, people have the power through their decisions to reward and encourage those who give priority to sustainability. Knowing this, Caixa has invested in good sustainable practices, standing out as a 'Green' Bank, the only bank in Cape Verde with a Solar Panel - green energy.

This is because we believe that sustainable development at Caixa is an integral part of its decision-making processes and aims to ensure economic, environmental, and social balance, in the medium and long term.

This is how we will continue to create value for shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, and society in general (stakeholders), without forgetting the future of our increasingly green and sustainable world.
