First Bank of Nigeria Limited has announced the fifth edition of its Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CR&S) week, scheduled for August 22- 27.
A statement by the bank said the initiative is in furtherance of its continued commitment to impacting the lives of individuals in its host communities across seven countries – Nigeria, United Kingdom, Ghana, DRC, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Senegal and Gambia.
The event which is themed, ‘Kindness…. A Way of Life’ reflects the single-minded purpose to make a difference in the world by inspiring and institutionalising kindness, the bank said.
CR&S week is a dedicated session for offering opportunities to employees to give their time and resources to defined causes in line with the bank’s CR&S strategic approach.
The bank held the maiden edition of the CR&S week in 2017 with a focus on three key initiatives/activities, which were giving and visits to orphanages/less-privileged homes/IDPs, career counselling day and staff promoting acts of random kindness (SPARK) initiative.
SPARK has changed to start performing acts of random kindness. The CR&S week has become more successful in subsequent years and it is fast becoming a household name in the Bank’s host communities.
