By Malai Hassan Othman

Bandar Seri Begawan – A leading bank in Brunei is showing the way that though its core business is in the money market, safeguarding the environment is also its prime concern.

HSBC Brunei, according to a press statement, organised a one-day 'Introduction to Environment' course for its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee members recently.

The event was conducted by Megamas Training Company. It was one of HSBC Group's initiatives to adopt and promote good environmental practices within its operations and with those it does business with.

The course focused on both global and local environmental issues plus strategies that HSBC Brunei adopts to meet its environmental commitments as part of the CSR requirements.

These included reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, waste minimisation and recycling, sustainable development, pollution prevention, raising public awareness and incorporating environmental considerations into business with both clients and suppliers.

Michael Dale, the course's instructor, said: "Sound environmental practices need to be incorporated into all industries as part of the private sector's responsibility to help protect the natural environment.

"This course has further demonstrated Brunei HSBC's commitment towards implementing and developing effective environmental management strategies for the benefit of the nation and for future generations," he added. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
