Absa Bank Ghana\u2019s commitment to the environment remains one of the strengths of the \u2019s strategy in the country. <\/p>\n
Beyond establishing an undisputed leadership in financial performance and sustainability, the bank\u2019s dedication to addressing key environmental, health and education issues is an example of what a modern bank must stand for.<\/p>\n
Bank colleagues from various units across the country recently embarked on an extensive tree planting campaign to support climate change and the government\u2019s Green Agenda.<\/em><\/p>\n The Green Ghana Agenda<\/em> initiative was introduced by the government last year to alleviate the country\u2019s high rate of rainforest loss. Several organisations and groups, Absa, responded to the call, and over five million trees were planted nationwide last year.<\/p>\n This year, thanks to a partnership with the Forestry Commission, Absa has planted 10,000 seedlings with the support of 1,000 employees across the bank.\u00a0The planting activity, which has now become an annual affair, is titled \u201cGreen Care Initiative<\/em>\u201d and aligns with the bank\u2019s purpose of playing an impactful role in society.<\/p>\n Commenting, Director of Marketing and Corporate Relations at Absa Bank, Nana Essilfuah Boison, said, \u201cWe all want a safe, easy to live in and sustainable world. At Absa, we are in the business of supporting a society that enhances our work for our clients and customers. <\/p>\n \u201cPlanting trees has become very important, especially in our world today, where matters of the environment, social and governance (ESG) concern all. <\/p>\n \u201cWe are proud of our colleague volunteers who always show energy and willingness to be part of our various community initiatives. It speaks to our purpose of bringing possibilities to life.\u201d<\/p>\n The Green Care Initiative<\/em> was launched by the bank last year to create opportunities for employees to volunteer and contribute to activities supporting the environment and climate change issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Absa Bank Ghana\u2019s commitment to the environment remains one of the strengths of the \u2019s strategy in the country.
