LAPO Microfinance Bank has reinforced its commitment to sustainability by offering free eye screening and corrective glasses to its employees during its 2026 Sustainability Week, which coincides with World Sustainability Day.

The "Circularity Expo 2026," the first of its kind in the microfinance banking sector, showcased innovative solutions and partnerships aimed at promoting resource efficiency and responsible consumption. These efforts align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDGs 3, 7, 8, 12, 13, and 17. LAPO MfB's Head of Sustainability, Ngozi Nwaichi, emphasized that sustainability is about improving lives and creating opportunities for people and communities to thrive.
In addition to its workplace initiatives, the bank continues to advance sustainable finance through its Green Clean Lending program, which has supported over 768,000 clean energy products totaling more than N21.72 billion. The bank also supports tree planting and partnerships to improve access to water and sanitation in Kano and Jigawa States, demonstrating its commitment to achieving key SDGs.
