Green economy will drive inclusive economic growth, social upliftment – Nedbank

Financial services company Nedbank on November 25 launched its revised corporate social investment (CSI) strategy, which will focus on the green economy elements of agriculture, water, energy and waste, in recognition that a green economy approach is a key enabler of economic growth, social upliftment and inclusivity, while protecting the country’s natural ecosystems, said Nedbank group market and corporate affairs group executive Khensani Nobanda. “Building a green economy is the only viable path to a resource-efficient, low-carbon and pro-employment future for our country, and our commitment to the green economy as the anchor for our strategy is one of the key ways we can contribute to the realisation of this goal and the economy’s sustainability and effectiveness,” she added.
