Prime Bank partners with Footstep for clean water, solar energy
Prime Bank PLC recently signed a partnership agreement with Footstep Bangladesh, a non-governmental organisation in Dhaka, to install water filtration systems and solar panels.
Under this agreement, the bank will install water filtration systems in eight public schools in Chattogram and solar panels in 100 households of fishermen in Cox's Bazar as a part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Md Ziaur Rahman, deputy managing director and chief risk officer of the bank, and Shah Meem Rafayat Chowdhury, president of Footstep Bangladesh, penned the deal at the former's head office in the capital's Gulshan, the commercial lender said in a press release.
Rahman said, "The bank is deeply committed to enhancing the well-being of underprivileged communities by ensuring their access to safe drinking water and renewable energy."
"Through its corporate social responsibility initiatives, the bank strives to promote sustainable development and support those in need, particularly in areas where these basic resources are scarce," he added.
Other senior officials from both the organisations were also present.
