UBA Launches Climate Action Week to Promote Sustainability

United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc initiated a Group-wide Climate Action Week from October 26 to 30, 2026, themed “Banking on Africa’s Climate Future.” This campaign aims to enhance climate awareness, promote responsible environmental practices, and advance sustainable finance across UBA's operations. Activities include deploying waste segregation bins and reducing single-use plastics at UBA's head offices.

UBA will disseminate educational content on climate change's impacts, such as food prices and urban flooding. A community engagement component includes a clean-up exercise on November 7 in major cities, including Lagos, Kano, and Port Harcourt.

UBA's group managing director/chief executive officer, Oliver Alawuba, emphasized the need for collective responsibility in addressing climate change. UBA will also sponsor Climate Convergence Week in Lagos on October 30, where it will deliver a keynote address and participate in discussions on sustainability and green finance.
