Zenith Bank Plc has been named the “Most Sustainable Bank, Nigeria” in the International Banker 2024 Banking Awards, retaining the title for the second continuous year.
The bank’s Group Managing Director, Dr. Adaora Umeoji, said the recognition reaffirmed Zenith Bank’s position as a trailblazer in sustainable banking practices, setting a benchmark for fabulousness within the banking industry in Nigeria and beyond.
She said the bank has been a leader in monitoring and reporting supportability effects.
Dr. Umeoji noted that since becoming the first bank in Africa to distribute a stand-alone sustainability report in accordance with the GRI Standards: Center Option in 2016, Zenith Bank has reliably distributed guaranteed stand-alone sustainability reports.
She pointed out that the bank is one of the few institutions in Nigeria that tracks its carbon emissions, using a certified device built on the internationally recognized Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Convention.
According to her, the bank is profoundly committed to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) values, subscribing to the triple bottom-line guideline, which envelops individuals, the planet, and benefits.
As a leading financial institution that services different segments of the economy, the bank considers Environmental and Social (E&S) risk management basic to its sustainability procedure.


She said: “We are deeply honored to be recognized as the most Sustainable Bank in Nigeria for the second time in a row. This prestigious award underscores our steadfast commitment to sustainability and reinforces our belief that responsible banking is essential for long-term success and societal impact.”
Dedicating the award to Dr. Jim Ovia, Zenith Bank Plc Founder and Chairman Dr. Umeoji
Dr. Umeoji said: “This remarkable achievement is a testament to the visionary and impactful leadership of our Founder and Chairman, Dr. Jim Ovia. His exceptional foresight and dedication have been the cornerstone of our success.
“His ability to inspire and guide with strategic acumen has been instrumental in steering Zenith Bank to new heights. Along with the key guidance of our esteemed Board members, the unwavering commitment of our ever-diligent staff, and the steadfast support of our loyal customers, Dr. Ovia’s leadership has been pivotal in transforming our sustainability initiatives into a reality.
