As the first South African financial institution and large corporate to commit to achieving carbon neutrality, the Nedbank Group is a sponsor and participant in WWF Earth Hour 2010. And the nation’s ‘green’ bank has challenged every individual South African, as well as every organisation in the public and private sectors, to switch off their lights between 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm on Saturday 27 March 2010 - thereby sending a clear message to the world’s leaders that global action can, and should, be taken to address climate change. To pledge your support for Earth Hour 2010, visit www.earthour.org.za, then switch off on 27 March, and be a part of a brighter future. Nedbank has been committed to caring for the environment and climate change for the last 20 years since their launch of the Nedbank Green Affinity programme and The Green Trust. Since 2006, Nedbank has an internal programme in all its major facilities to reduce carbon emissions, electricity, water and paper usage and to increase recycling of all water.
