Softlogic Finance extends 'Clean Zone' to City Office

Softlogic Finance stepped up efforts to improve awareness of the importance of garbage segregation and recycling among the public and to increase the cleanliness of the environment, by extending its flagship 'Clean Zone' community initiative to its City Office at Colombo 2.

Softlogic Finance's City Office at Sri Jinarathana Road, became the company's third location to join the effort, which eventually envisages improving the cleanliness of a 100 km roadside extent in the country by using Softlogic Finance's branch network across the island.

Similar to other locations in which the 'Clean Zone' was launched, the City Office of Softlogic Finance too would now focus on increasing awareness on the importance of garbage segregation and recycling by deploying staff members to educate those in the vicinity by various means, including distribution of leaflets and by displaying in front of the branch, separate bins dedicated for the disposal of plastic, bottles and non-recyclable waste.

The City Office will also seek the assistance of Municipal authorities in increasing the cleanliness of a 500m roadside extent to each side of the branch which would be achieved through garbage collection at more frequent intervals. This would eventually be expanded to a one km on either side of the branch.

"Considering that our City Office is within Colombo 2 - an important commercial area visited frequently by a large number of people - it is ideally placed to contribute to our Clean Zone program," Softlogic Finance CEO, Nalin Wijekoon said.

"We especially value the commitment of our staff to this effort which has enabled us to extend the initiative to several locations including the City Office within less than two month," he said. Following the launch at Softlogic Finance's Nawala branch in March, the Clean Zone program was introduced at the Katugasthota branch.
