The Nedbank Group has reaffirmed its status as a leading South African green bank by jointly winning the Financial Services category for twenty years of weaving sustainability into the fabric of the organisation and for their outstanding response to climate change at the 2011 Climate Change Leadership Awards in Johannesburg on March 29. The awards are sponsored by Talk Radio 702, Pick 'n Pay, the SA Post Office, LeadSA, Kulula, Avis, Food and Trees for Africa, and The Carbon Protocol of South Africa.
The Climate Change Leadership Awards (CCLA) are the first awards in South Africa to recognize, reward, motivate and celebrate South African businesses, communities, individuals, youth and schools that are taking the lead through implementing a range of activities to combat global warming. They also contribute significantly to inspiring and promoting awareness and action towards a low carbon economy, and thus a healthier society and a more sustainable planet.
"It is a great honour for us to receive this award as it recognises our ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental awareness, education and responsibility," said Marco Lotz, Nedbank’s Sustainability Carbon Specialist.
Nedbank became South Africa and Africa's first carbon neutral financial organisation in 2009 and is involved in a wide range of initiatives aimed at reducing the impact of climate change.
