National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) carried out a beach cleaning activity at the Sea View beach in Karachi

KARACHI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 16th Nov, 2017 ) :National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) carried out a beach cleaning activity at the Sea View beach in Karachi. An NBP statement on Thursday said that Sea View is one of Karachi's most frequented beaches, with thousands of visitors every day, which also results in littering along the scenic coastline.

Employees of National Bank, which included senior executives and other staff, conducted the beach cleaning activity, which lasted for around four hours, and collected over 250 kg of garbage. The activity was part of National Bank's corporate social responsibility to preserve Pakistan's eco-system and bio-diversity.

All waste material collected from these activities was recycled or disposed of in conformity with environment friendly measures.

President NBP Saeed Ahmad lauded the efforts of NBP's CSR team on this initiative, and highlighted, "Pakistan has been blessed with a diversity of natural environments and our coast lines are some of the most beautiful in the world.

However, pollution from sewage and industrial effluents, as well as littering are serious threats for marine habitat. This beach cleaning activity is part of our ongoing initiative across Pakistan to increase awareness and inculcate a sense of responsibility for the environment amongst our citizens.

I would request leading organizations to join similar activities in order to achieve worthwhile results."
