FIRST City Monument Bank (FCMB) has emerged as the Best Environment Supporting Financial Institution in Africa at the African Clean-up Award for Excellence 2017 held in Ghana.
The award, organised by African Clean-Up Initiative and endorsed by ‘Let’s Do It’ World Clean-up Foundation in Estonia, is Africa’s first ever-independent clean-up award.
It recognises and honours outstanding and brilliant environmentalists, health and safety experts as well as philanthropists that are passionate about Environmental Sustainability in Africa.
This year’s edition received several submissions from various corporate organisations across Africa. The ceremony was attended by distinguished personalities within the public and private sectors in the continent and other parts of the world.
In a statement conferring the award on FCMB, African Clean-Up Initiative explained that: “The bank is an environmentally-friendly financial institution that upholds best sustainable practices and demonstrates administrative excellence in dealing and supporting environmentally sustainable projects and social impact enterprise”.
Commenting on the award, the Group Head, Corporate Affairs of FCMB, Mr. Diran Olojo, said the development is a further confirmation that the impact of the Bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, with environmental sustainability as a core pillar, is being felt and appreciated globally.
