STANBIC Bank walked away with the top corporate social responsibility (CSR) award at the sixth Zimbabwe National Responsible Business and CSR Awards 2022 recently.
Stanbic Bank’s CSR initiatives span areas of health and sanitation, education and sports.
They range from construction and renovation of health facilities, construction of classroom blocks, bursaries and meeting the needs of the underprivileged.
Corporate Social Responsibility Network Zimbabwe (CSRNZ) executive director Mr Willard Razawo said Stanbic was recognised for making a positive impact in communities through innovative and sustainable CSR activities.
“Some of the factors considered include its commitment to invest in CSR in addition to having measurable evidence of innovation, impact and scalability with demonstrable, long-term commitment to sustainable transformation,” said Mr Razawo.
He added that the level of investment and stakeholder engagement, he added, were some of the attributes that saw the bank scoop the top CSR award.
Stanbic Bank’s team in charge of handling corporate social initiatives (CSI), led by head brand and marketing, Mr Palmer Mugavha, and marketing manager for sponsorship, events and CSI, Ms Lucy Dlodlo, were also recognised for spearheading the initiatives.
