Absa Bank Kenya PLC has been recognized as the first bank in Kenya to join the Kenya Green Building Society (KGBS). The bank has joined the society as a champion for initiatives that promote the green economy by reducing pollution and improving people’s lives. Presenting the certificate, KGBS Chairperson Elizabeth Wangeci Chege said that she was proud to welcome Absa to the green building network. “In partnership with Kenya Green Building Society, all our buildings – comprising 85 facilities - have been assessed for efficiency in terms of energy, water and building materials, using the IFC Edge tool,” Waiyaki added. This recognition comes hot on the heels of the annual World Green Building Week, a campaign by the World Green Building Council that seeks to empower the delivery of greener buildings globally
