Environmental Stewardship


Reducing Plastic Waste
As part of Barko Financial Services' commitment to environmental sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, we have distributed 115,596 reusable shopping bags to our valued customers, affectionately referred to as our "kings and queens", from 2021 to date. This initiative is a key component of our broader Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy, aimed at promoting eco-conscious practices within the communities we serve. By providing durable, reusable shopping bags, we are not only reducing the reliance on single-use plastic bags but also encouraging more sustainable consumer habits. This simple yet impactful step helps to minimise the environmental harm caused by plastic waste, contributing to cleaner communities and a healthier planet. Our ongoing effort to distribute these bags underscores our dedication to protecting the environment and promoting responsible, sustainable choices for all.
