Scotiabank commemorates Earth Day 2024

SCOTIABANK, in partnership with Sure Foundation, led a seedling distribution drive at the Brian Lara Promenade, Port of Spain, in commemoration of Earth Day 2024.

In a release, Scotiabank said through this effort over 20,000 seedlings and 150 fruit trees were distributed.

Since 2021, Scotiabank’s collaboration with the Sure Foundation has provided close to one million seedlings via various community interventions and to households, children’s homes and youth groups, to encourage a familiarity with the earth and planting what you eat.

Also, in commemoration of Earth Month, Scotiabank globally is accepting grant submissions for its net-zero research fund.

Established in 2021 as part of the bank’s climate commitments, Scotiabank’s $10 million net-zero research fund initiates partnerships with leading think tanks and academic institutions and provides funding to support research to advance global decarbonisation, the release said.
