Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, a leading advocate for environmental sustainability and ESG in Africa, has partnered with Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) to host a symposium, in commemoration of World Environment Day 2025 at the Lekki Conservation Centre, Lagos.
Themed “Ending Plastic Pollution”, the event brought together corporate leaders, environmental experts, and stakeholders, who addressed the urgent challenge of plastic pollution.
Speaking at the event, Olufunmilola Aluko, Union Bank’s Chief Brand and Marketing Officer, said, “At Union Bank, sustainability goes beyond banking. We are dedicated to empowering communities with knowledge and resources, like recycling initiatives to tackle plastic pollution and rejuvenate our environment.”
The symposium featured thought-provoking discussions on the environmental and economic risks posed by plastic waste.
In line with this commitment, Union Bank extended its impact through an educational outreach in Lagos secondary schools, donating recycling bins and raising awareness about environmental preservation among young Nigerians.
These efforts are part of the bank’s broader UnionCares platform, which drives impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives across Nigeria.
The bank remains steadfast in promoting ethical business practices, social responsibility, and sustainable community development.
