Union Bank promotes improved environmental practices

Union Bank has highlighted the need to preserve and restore the earth through sustainable environmental practices.

This call was made during an event organised in partnership with the Nigerian Conservation Foundation to commemorate the 2024 World Environment Day.

The programme held at the Lekki Conservation Centre in Lagos brought together various stakeholders, including environmental rights activists, international partner agencies, corporate institutions, government agencies, and students of select secondary schools, to deliberate and engage in activities marking World Environment Day.

Speaking during the programme, the Head of Citizenship and Sustainability at Union Bank, Patricia Iwhewhe, stated the importance of preserving the environment.

She said, “Land degradation and erosion are not things stakeholders and policymakers can afford to ignore or gloss over. We all must get involved in helping restore and reclaim parts of our environment badly impacted by deforestation and desertification.

“Union Bank, as a sustainability champion committed to the preservation of our dear planet, appreciates and recognises the responsibility we have as humanity to look after our environment. We will continue to support and participate in programs dedicated to protecting and enriching our precious habitat.”

One of the main events on the day was a tree-planting exercise involving various participants and stakeholder representatives.

The tree-planting activity was in keeping with this year’s celebration theme, ‘Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience,’ advocating for the rejuvenation and revitalisation of land devastated by deforestation, erosion, and desertification globally and in Nigeria in particular.

The Nigerian Conservation Foundation has been at the forefront of helping to preserve and protect nature and its resources since its inception.
