Equity Bank Celebrates Anniversary with Tree Planting Drive

Equity Bank marked its anniversary in a meaningful way this weekend by launching a tree planting initiative at the Golf Course and Doko Cell. The event was led by the Umukuka, a passionate conservationist and local leader, highlighting the Bank’s commitment to environmental sustainability.

As part of its long-term environmental strategy, Equity Bank plans to plant 60,000 trees across the Bugisu and Kigezi subregions over the next two years. The initiative is aimed at promoting green spaces, mitigating climate change, and encouraging community participation in conservation efforts.

During the event, the Umukuka interacted with ELP Scholars from the region, expressing gratitude to Equity Bank for its continued investment in the development of young people. The moment underscored the Bank’s dual focus on both environmental conservation and youth empowerment.

Virginia Ssemakula, Pillar Head for Energy, Environment, and Climate Change at Equity Bank, presented a special gift to the Umukuka on behalf of the Bank, celebrating the partnership and shared commitment to sustainable development.

The anniversary tree planting drive demonstrates Equity Bank’s dedication to making a positive impact not only in financial services but also in the communities and environments it serves.
