Resources has been put out on their website, ranging from educational tips, as well as zero waste audits for food outlets as well as for the public who would like to start their journey to low impact living.
As part of the Bank’s pledge to co-create with the community, these resources were developed in collaboration with Green Brunei, a youth-led platform that promotes environmental sustainability through education, conservation, and advocacy.
Pg Azaleen Pg Dato Hj Mustapha, DCEO, Baiduri Bank, said, “The Earth Day Market and the #zerowastesungkai initiative ties in with the environmental pillar of our CSR programme. We hope this initiative will heighten public awareness of sustainable living and the practical steps we can take on a day-to-day basis to reduce waste as much as possible. To this end, we are glad to partner with Green Brunei as well as local vendors who are actively advocating the same cause. Zero waste may sound like a grand vision but with consistent efforts in community education, we will be able to move closer to a greener, healthier future.”
