FirstBank of Nigeria Limited has restated its commitment towards corporate responsibility and sustainability programme.
The bank said in a statement that it had
defined its approach to doing business responsibly as a corporate
citizen, which it said involves positively impacting the lives of key
stakeholders and the society at large.
This, according to the statement
includes deliberate efforts to enable a truly rewarding career for its
employees; providing value-added, innovative and sustainable products
and services for customers; minimizing environmental impact as well as
empowering the communities in which it operates.
The bank said it was committed to
delivering social investments that will positively impact on the society
through wholesome partnerships, encouraging diversity and inclusion
whilst wearing the toga of integrity and accountability.
“Driven by its brand promise ‘You
First’, FirstBank is determined to constantly build broader, deeper and
sustainable symbiotic relationships to deliver long-term value to
shareholders and continuously put stakeholders at the centre of its
business.
“FirstBank partnered with the Lagos
Business School to establish the FirstBank Sustainability Centre to
contribute to knowledge in the sustainability driven sector.
“The centre has hosted the International
Sustainability Conference to stimulate sustainability principles in
business management; Sustainability Workshops for NGOs to create an
enabling platform for NGOs in recognition of their emerging roles in
contemporary society; and workshops for women-led SMEs to equip women
for enterprise development with sustainable growth strategies,” it
added.
With an effective Employee Giving and
Volunteering Scheme, staff members dedicate their time, knowledge and
experience to address development needs and challenges of the community
in which they live and work.
