We have made great strides in the past decades in our societal contributions by consistently factoring social and environmental concerns into our business operations. We are especially sensitive to the challenges of our environment in the areas of poverty, disease, corruption and human capacity development.

In the area of poverty alleviation, in particular, we continue to invest in and grow our microfinance capacity in partnership with ACCION, one of the world’s leading microfinance institutions.

Our training and development programmes and institutional standards are aimed at developing a human capital base that will make tangible contributions to the institution and society, while also promoting customer service and ethical standards. Every employee is required to operate to a minimum ethical standard as embodied in our Code of Business Ethics.

In line with managing concerns about global warming, Ecobank has taken steps to reduce its carbon footprint. Our investment in technology allows us to hold virtual meetings, thereby reducing the need for physical travel.
