Public Bank is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of its inaugural Run for Change 2024 in Padang Merbok Kuala Lumpur, which aimed to promote sustainable health and wellbeing. The event brought together more than 1,200 Public Bank employees from diverse backgrounds to raise awareness about fostering a culture of sustainability and improving quality of life through environmental, social and governance practices (IS G) in the community.
The event went beyond a race on the occasion of World Environment Day. It provided a platform for people to come together and have a significant impact on the environment. A portion of the participation fees was allocated to the purchase of saplings, thus contributing to the nation’s ecological initiative. This initiative aimed to improve environmental sustainability and promote the importance of preserving nature for future generations.
The race also promoted physical fitness and the importance of healthy lifestyles among participants, especially young people.
