Banking should never be sullied or strained; either it grows from a
place of purpose and significance for the magnate, to invoke applause
and emotional impact, or it is just another random business.
Access Bank Plc. is neither sullied nor strained hence it’s enviable
capacity to be on song always. For the umpteenth time,
Access Bank has
commanded the applause of critical agencies. Like an indefatigable
knight and conqueror of life’s greatest odds, the foremost banking
institution has recorded yet another feat and a remarkable first by its
recent win of the global Karlsruhe Sustainable Finance Award in
Karlsruhe, Germany. By its win, Access Bank emerges as the first African
recipient of the much coveted Outstanding Business Sustainability
Achievement award in Germany.
Herbert Wigwe, the bank’s Managing Director (MD), was in attendance
to receive the prize on behalf of the multiple award winning financial
giant. He thanked the organizers for the honour and enthused that Access
Bank can only do better as it is committed to the best banking
practices and excellent corporate social responsibility principles.
The Karlsruhe Sustainable Finance Awards honours financial
institutions and organizations with significant contributions to the
field of sustainable finance. The awards aim to provide recognition to
financial institutions that have successfully embedded economic, social
and environmental sustainability into their business, honour
organizations that have made outstanding contributions in the field of
sustainable finance and stimulate the interests of financial
institutions and other stakeholders in integrating sustainability in
their core business strategy.
It also seeks to promote the growth of sustainable financial
instruments and markets worldwide particularly in the fields of green
finance and investments, financial inclusion and social finance, green
equity and venture capital and holistic integration of sustainability in
the financial services institutions
It would be recalled that Access Bank recently emerged winner of the
Best Flow House in Africa accolade in the Euromoney Awards for
Excellence 2015, which held at the Natural History Museum in London,
United Kingdom (UK). That was the first time an African Bank will be
recognised as winner of this highly sought award. The bank’s win comes
in recognition of its increasing transaction flows across Africa,
particularly its dominance in the Nigerian financial markets
According to Euromoney, the Best Flow House award is given to honour
firms that have demonstrated an ability to excel across the region in
the key areas of foreign exchange, equities, rates and credit. The
winning firm must also have shown commitment to providing liquidity and
pricing in all market conditions. Also, such firm will have shown
leadership in developing and integrating technology into its sales and
trading businesses, as well as the importance of research.
