IFE ADEDAPO examines initiatives that corporate organisations can implement to make their environment sustainable
Businesses cannot afford to overlook the
well-being of the communities where they operate; hence significant
community development investments abound in the country.
However, managing the direct and
indirect environmental impact of business activities is one critical
responsibility that companies are believed to owe the society where they
operate, especially now that the issue of climate change is in the
front burner globally.
Beyond spending money to create
opportunities for advancement and growth, analysts say embracing
environment-friendly practices has become very imperative.
In other words, minimising carbon
footprints, achieving carbon neutrality, promoting wildlife/biodiversity
conservation, among others, are areas of impact analysts say businesses
need to consider.
The Group Head, Marketing and Corporate
Communications, First Bank, Mrs. Folake Ani-Mumuney, in an interview
with our correspondent, says that businesses must contribute to
environmental sustainability.
According to her, FBN Holdings Plc has
identified key priority areas that will boost the company’s
environmental sustainability stance.
