First Bank of Nigeria Limited is set to celebrate its 2021Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Week (CR&S Week).
The bank yearly CR&S Week is a dedicated week designed special to offer FirstBank staff, customers, and the public opportunities to demonstrate the human kindness that flows in them. It seeks to amplify FirstBank’s innate culture of giving and volunteering as stated in its Employee Giving and Volunteering programme.
The programme also provides a veritable platform for encouraging the citizenry to intentionally create positive impact in their immediate environment.
The event held for the first time from 25 – 29 September, 2017 with theme “Promoting Kindness: Putting You First”. The maiden CR&S Week was the first of its kind in Nigeria’s financial services industry.
It highlighted the role FirstBank’s corporate citizenship interventions was playing in driving positive impact across various communities – all within one compact week. The programme aimed at encouraging people everywhere to step out of their comfort zones, shift attention from themselves and their personal needs to others in society who have not been as fortunate as they have and perform a random act of kindness towards them.
The first edition of the CR&S Week provided opportunity for FirstBank staff to give their time and resources to promote acts of random kindness within their communities and contribute to the welfare and well-being of others through giving and visits to orphanages/homes of the less fortunate and internally displaced people (IDPs).
