DFCC Bank employees, along with their families, carried out a beach-cleaning campaign at Mount Lavinia on 21 September, to commemorate World Clean-Up Day and International Coastal Clean-Up Day. This campaign was organised by the Sustainability Unit of the Bank, with the assistance of the Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia Municipal Council.

Many employees with their families participated in this worthy cause, including the Bank’s CEO Lakshman Silva, and DCEO Thimal Perera. A large stretch of the beach, polluted with lots of plastics, glass, rubber, and other debris, were cleaned up and handed over to the Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia Municipal Council.

This was one of the initiatives that the Bank implemented focusing on environment protection. It is in line with the Bank’s sustainability strategy, which provided an opportunity for DFCC Bank staff members and their families to engage in an environmentally-friendly activity, and thereby making them aware of the importance of taking care of our environment.
