NDB Bank has embarked on a project to understand and manage the Bank’s climate change impacts. As the first step, the Bank signed an MoU with the verification body ‘Sri Lanka Climate Fund’ (SLCF) to ascertain the Bank’s ‘Carbon Footprint’ - also known as “GHG Assessment”.
Training was also conducted for key internal stakeholders by the GHG Expert Dr. Lalith Senaweera, Sri Lanka Climate Fund Ltd. GHG validation and Verification Division GHG Verifier and Sri Lanka Standards Institution (SLSI) Retired Director General/ CEO Gayan Madusanka.
NDB Corporate Sustainability Committee Chairperson Melody Wickramanayake said: “Climate Action is a key focus area in the Bank’s sustainability agenda. The goal is to proceed towards being Carbon Neutral which will benefit our planet in many ways. It will also increase efficiencies within the organisation since identifying and quantifying CO2 emissions help to identify and rectify excessive energy usage or other inefficiencies.”
As a responsible corporate citizen, National Development Bank PLC (NDB) is future-oriented with ‘Climate Action’ being a key focus area. Working closely with industry experts such as SLCF will help the Bank to identify best practices for operating in the most sustainable and climate friendly way possible, thereby adding value to the triple bottom line.
