Polaris Bank has broadened its environmental initiatives by partnering with the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) to enhance tree planting activities across Nigeria, with recent events in Abuja and Anambra. On October 14, 2024, the latest tree planting session took place at the Government Secondary School in Gwagwalada, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), shortly after a similar engagement at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University.
These events underscore Polaris Bank’s commitment to the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, highlighting its proactive strategies in combatting desertification and supporting biodiversity.
Osazuwa Igbinoba, the bank’s Directorate Head for Abuja, emphasized that sustainability forms a core part of Polaris Bank’s business operations, not only restoring ecosystems but also focusing on planting economic trees that bolster environmental and economic sustainability for future generations.
This initiative is part of a larger campaign that includes previous plantings at institutions and community reserves across the country, illustrating the bank’s dedication to environmental stewardship and societal empowerment integrated within its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.
