Bank of Saint Lucia is ECCB’s Best Corporate Citizen 2010

November 18, 2010

Bank of Saint Lucia has been awarded Best Corporate Citizen for 2010 by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB). The ECCB made the announcement at its headquarters in Saint Kitts at a special awards ceremony in early November. Bank of Saint Lucia also won the Good Corporate Citizen Award in four other areas: Educational Development, Environmental Awareness, Cultural Development, and Financial Education and Empowerment. Bank of Saint Lucia competed against over a dozen other banks in the sub-region to emerge as the overall winner.   

The award acknowledges Bank of Saint Lucia’s significant contribution to the socio-economic development of the island via its sponsorship and support of institutions such as CARE, the National Enrichment Learning Programme, and cultural festivals such as Carnival, Jounen Kweyol and the Jazz Festival. The bank was also recognized for its work in promoting financial literacy through saving and budgeting presentations to students; its television series, Financial Focus, and newspaper column, Financially Speaking; and its Gold sponsorship of Junior Achievement. The launch of the bank’s environmental campaign, Greedy for Green, was regarded as a proactive and responsible initiative that tackles the critical issue of environmental protection and conservation.

The bank would like to thank its customers, shareholders and other partners for their support without which this award would not have been possible. Bank of Saint Lucia and its parent company, ECFH, wish to extend their sympathy to all who were affected by Hurricane Tomas. It would like to assure the people and Government of Saint Lucia that it is committed to demonstrating its good corporate citizenship by its continuing contribution to the recovery effort.
