Executive Director, Finance & Operations of Pal Pensions Ltd, Godwin Onoro, has advised business operators in Nigeria  to adopt sustainable business model in line with their development and value driven operations.

He stated this at this year’s edition of the sustainability week celebrated by the company annually across its locations nationwide.

He said  sustainability week initiative is deemed important by the company because it helps to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’’.

“The initiative adopted from CBN’s directive to financial institutions is meant to create awareness and innovation amongst staff members in their contribution in ensuring PAL remains a sustainable business with direct focus on core roles and functions”, he stated.

According to Onoro, in 2015, the company celebrated the sustainability week via an inter-departmental sustainability challenge and a 6km fitness walk from TBS to Falomo, Ikoyi, Lagos.

 He said this year’s celebration was hinged on one of the quick-wins of the sustainability mandate aligned with employee health, safety and welfare.

“There were different activities held across three regional locations; fitness walks in Port-Harcourt; wellness talks in Enugu and visit to the orphanage in Ibadan.”

The highlight of the exercise was the distribution of bin bags and parkers to market women and men in Enugu while sensitising them on the need to “reduce, reuse& recycle in the market place.
