YEREVAN, August 26. /ARКА/. As part of the Clean Future for Lake Sevan initiative, Acba Bank in partnership with the German Nature And Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU), is assisting in the cleanup of Armenia’s largest water body from plastic and other debris, according to the bank’s press service.
During the volunteer effort, the bank’s staff cleaned over 2 km of the shoreline, sorting through plastic and other waste, which was subsequently sent for recycling.
Acba Bank has engaged in this initiative as part of its corporate social responsibility, which focuses on fostering an ecological culture in Armenia and safeguarding the environment.
“Our significant objective is to achieve a 100% clean Armenia. The Lake Sevan basin is included in this vision, and we must all work towards it collectively. Here, we not only remove waste but also sort it and oversee its further processing,” stated Anna Hovhannisyan, the head of the Clean Future for Lake Sevan project and NABU representative in Armenia.
The Clean Future for Lake Sevan project is being executed in collaboration with NABU, FPAN, and ISSD, with financial backing from the German Foreign Ministry.
The bank operates under the supervision of the Central Bank of Armenia.-0-
