He said BSP’s Go Green campaign message is simple; cleaning the environment reduces pollution and protects the ecosystem, which is essential for human existence.
“We must all do our bit to rethink the way we dispose our waste and reuse to reduce waste as much as possible. We are much more than a bank; we are a real part of your community. Every year we help support environmental, educational, sporting, and charitable programmes to help the communities we operate in, “Kilagi told the Grade 3 and 4 students.
