Advans Marks 2024 World Clean Up Day, embarks on Market Clean-Up and Donations

Advans La Fayette Microfinance Bank, a leading international financial institution in Nigeria, has underlined its support for a clean planet by participating in the 2024 World Clean Up Day. In partnership with local market associations, the bank organized clean-up exercises and donated waste management supplies to major markets across Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, and Onitsha.

As part of its commitment to community impact, Advans mobilized employees from its various branches to join market men and women in cleaning up various market locations. The initiative included the collection of diverse waste materials such as plastic bottles, straws, wrappers, and food debris, all of which were carefully sorted for proper disposal.

The bank also used the opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable waste disposal and environmental care, encouraging market traders and shoppers to adopt better waste management practices, which can improve health, productivity, and environmental quality.

Speaking on the initiative, Gaetan Debuchy, the Managing Director/CEO at Advans La Fayette Microfinance Bank said “Today’s clean-up exercise highlights our responsibility as a corporate citizen, to ensure cleaner, healthier communities. We are proud to support this global movement and remain committed to promoting sustainable practices through our corporate initiatives. Together, we can create a cleaner environment and a better future for all.”

Also commenting on the initiative, the Head of Marketing and Communications, Advans La Fayette Microfinance Bank, Kayode Abraham, said, “We are proud to be part of World Cleanup Day, the biggest civic movement globally striving to create a cleaner planet. We are here today because we care about our world, the environment, and the people.”
