United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc recently reinforced its commitment to environmental sustainability by mobilising thousands of employees across 20 African countries for a coordinated clean-up exercise, transforming its flagship “Jogging to Bond” wellness initiative into a pan-African campaign for community service and environmental stewardship. The event, which also coincided with the 60th birthday of the Bank’s Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Oliver Alawuba, saw the milestone marked not with fanfare, but alongside employees in a celebration of teamwork, wellness and shared responsibility for cleaner communities.

For many organisations, employee wellness programmes are centred on exercise and team bonding. At United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, however, wellness has evolved into something much broader, one that combines healthy living with environmental responsibility and community impact across the African continent.
That commitment was on full display as thousands of UBA employees simultaneously took to the streets in 20 African countries, not just to exercise, but to clean public spaces in a coordinated environmental campaign that underscored the Bank’s growing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda.
