KCB Bank (T) is championing sustainability as a responsible corporate citizen, advancing the Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) no. 14 by extensive tree planting around the country.
Paschal Machango, a senior official, stood in for Cosmas Kimario, the group regional businesses director and country managing director, at an event to commemorate Customer Service Week.
He said KCB Bank has undertaken a significant environmental initiative by planting 1,500 trees across its operational regions in Tanzania, part of a strategic focus on economic, social, and environmental pillars.
The bank executive appreciated staff at the Mbagala Annex Primary School, one of the beneficiaries of the initiative, for their acceptance to host the project in the city.
This had helped to boost the bank’s participation in this crucial environmental cause, he said, asserting that the bank’s commitment extends beyond business success.
“We are dedicated to environmental conservation. Today, we are proud to have planted over 1,500 trees in schools across Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, Geita, Kahama, Mwanza, and Morogoro,” he stated.
Ruth Mussa, an assistant head teacher, expressed gratitude to KCB Bank for their engagement in the initiative, while Phina Bernard, an environmental officer with Temeke municipality, commended the bank for its impactful contribution.
Focus should also be placed on nurturing the planted trees, she stated, with the bank executive urging communities and organizations to join hands in promoting environmental stewardship and sustainability for the well-being of future generations
