PwC is committed to making a positive difference, based upon our core competencies and values.
Even before the COVID-19 crisis, pressure was building that put the world at a crossroads. Climate change, polarisation and disruptive technological change were creating unsustainable pressure on the societies, economies and ecosystems in which we all live and in which companies operate. COVID-19 has made these challenges more pressing and further raised the importance of progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
PwC is a strong brand in our markets and we have a responsibility to show leadership, both as a business and as a community member.
We are proud to join this year’s tree planting programme with the guidance of relevant authorities from the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources - Forestry Department. This is in line with our commitment to support high-quality carbon reduction projects that not only reduce carbon emissions but also support local communities, preserve sustainable landscapes and help create renewable markets.
Our tree planting exercise was held at the newly constructed Lusaka Specialist Hospital, on Wednesday 23 December 2020. We planted 100 Musikili trees, a start of more planting exercises we intend to undertake. Other selected sites include the University Teaching Hospital grounds.
PwC Zambia Associate Director, Tonderai Luwisi, invited other like-minded corporates and people in Zambia and throughout the world to take pride in giving to the environment through planting of trees.
The guest of honour Mr Elias J. Kamanga, Lusaka Province Permanent Secretary is calling on all people in the province to make time during this tree planting season to plant at least three trees per individual. Please check out our photo gallery in the link below.
