Femme StaffIn a continued commitment to environmental sustainability, KCB today launched its 2025 WRC tree planting initiative at Shermoi Southlake Primary School and Mirera High School in Naivasha. A total of 450 fruit trees, including avocado and guava, as well as pine, cypress, and grevillea seedlings, were planted as part of this significant green initiative.
KCB provided 700 seedlings for the two schools, with each institution receiving an equal share. This initiative is a key component of the Bank’s environmental agenda, aimed at reducing carbon emissions ahead of the highly anticipated 2025 World Rally Championship (WRC), scheduled to take place from March 20th to 23rd in Naivasha and other locations.
As part of its broader conservation efforts, KCB has set an ambitious target to plant 3,000 trees in partnership with schools that bank with it across various counties. This initiative will continue during and after the rally, reinforcing KCB’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
This tree-planting initiative is a crucial part of KCB’s larger environmental strategy, which aims to plant 1.5 million trees this year. This follows the successful planting of 1.3 million trees under the KCB Linda Miti Initiative, underscoring the Bank’s unwavering dedication to combating climate change and fostering a greener future.
