Lahore: In a groundbreaking initiative to combat the harmful effects of smog, the Bank of Punjab (BoP) has announced the installation of air purifiers across its branches in 18 smog-affected districts of Punjab. This proactive measure aims to ensure a healthier and safer environment for employees and customers alike, as part of the Government of Punjab’s broader efforts to address environmental challenges.
The initiative positions BoP as the first bank in the industry to introduce such comprehensive protective measures in response to the alarming air quality crisis.
Speaking on the occasion, Zafar Masud, President & CEO of the Bank of Punjab, emphasized the institution’s commitment to health and safety. “The well-being of our employees and customers is our highest priority. By equipping our branches with air purifiers, we are fostering a safe and healthy environment within our premises. This initiative reflects our dedication to employee welfare and underscores our commitment to the communities we serve. We hope other organizations are inspired to take similar steps to combat this pressing challenge.”
This move not only highlights BoP’s role as a responsible corporate citizen but also sets a benchmark for the banking industry in addressing environmental and public health concerns. The air purifiers, strategically installed in branches across highly affected areas, are expected to mitigate the impact of smog during the peak season, safeguarding the health of thousands who rely on the bank’s services daily.
With this forward-thinking approach, the Bank of Punjab reinforces its reputation as a socially conscious institution, contributing meaningfully to the collective fight against environmental hazards.
