United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has reaffirmed its commitment to environmental sustainability and employee wellbeing by mobilising staff across its operations in 20 African countries for a continent-wide environmental clean-up exercise.
The bank made this known in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.
It said the exercise formed part of its quarterly “Jogging to Bond” wellness programme themed “The Power Within U”.
The clean-up coincided with the 60th birthday of the bank’s Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Oliver Alawuba, who joined employees to mark the occasion.
The exercise was conducted simultaneously in cities including Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, and Dakar.
In Lagos, activities included fitness sessions, spinning bike exercises, fitness challenges, relaxation therapies, and an exercise station hosted by iFitness.
Speaking at the event, Alawuba said the initiative demonstrated the bank’s commitment to teamwork, wellness, and community development.
“There is no place I would rather be on my birthday than here, surrounded by the incredible people who make UBA what it is today,” he said.
Group Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications, Ms. Alero Ladipo, said the programme reflected the bank’s commitment to employee welfare and sustainable development.
She noted that the initiative promoted a healthy workplace culture, strengthened teamwork, and encouraged employees to contribute to environmental sustainability.
According to her, the programme aligns with the bank’s Employee Value Proposition and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy.
UBA operates in 20 African countries, as well as the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and the United Arab Emirates.
