How We Are Driving Sustainable Development Through ESG Integration: During a panel discussion at the National ESG Conference & Expo 2026, our Executive Director, Joseph Balikudembe, shared how our Bank has embedded Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards into the core of our operations. Key takeaways from our panel address: Integrated Institutional Culture: ESG is not a top-down mandate. It is a shared responsibility embraced by every team member—from frontline staff to executive leadership—and is fully integrated into our daily operational DNA. A Vision for the Future: While ESG is traditionally viewed through the lens of risk mitigation, we approach it as a strategic blueprint for how we intend to grow and serve our communities sustainably moving forward. Risk-Tiered Compliance: Our core policies and credit procedures enforce strict ESG compliance across low, medium, and high-risk lending operations. This ensures that sustainable practices are passed onward to every client we partner with. Our key Milestones include: Empowering Vulnerable Communities: Backed by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and in partnership with the Government of Uganda, our GROW Loans program has successfully extended credit to underserved organizations, demonstrating that social responsibility directly lowers financial risk. Green Agricultural Financing: Our green lending frameworks have translated ESG principles into practice at both smallholder and large-scale industrial levels within Uganda's agricultural sector, proving that commercial viability and environmental stewardship go hand-in-hand. #ESGConference2026 #Centegreenprogramme #CentenaryBank #SustainableBanking #GreenFinancing #GROWLoans #Uganda

Speaking at the 1st National Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Conference & Expo 2026, Dr. Barirega Akankwasah, the Executive Director of the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) challenged organizations to shift their focus from corporate policy writing to measurable, on-the-ground execution. Key insights from the Executive Director’s analysis on institutional responsibility: Moving Beyond the Boardroom: ESG can no longer be treated as a passive corporate trend or an abstract topic for board discussions. It must actively shape everyday institutional frameworks and decisions to foster genuinely responsible development. ESG Pillars of Institutional Responsibility: Sustainable growth requires a balanced commitment to environmental stewardship, transparent corporate governance, employee welfare, and social responsibility. Securing Uganda’s Future: True commercial and national development must never come at the expense of tomorrow. The fundamental objective of ESG adoption is achieving economic progress that actively preserves and protects the future of Uganda. Organizations therefore must move past merely entertaining the concept of ESG and instead embed the ESG core pillars into their operational DNA to ensure long-term, sustainable development for the nation. #ESGConference2026 #SustainableUganda #NEMA #EnvironmentalStewardship

The National Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Conference & Expo 2026 officially commenced with an address from the Chief Guest, Rt. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga, the 1st Deputy Prime Minister of Uganda. Key takeaways from the keynote address: Climate Finance Commitments: The Government of Uganda has committed an initial $10 million to support climate initiatives, with a strategic long-term target of securing $500 million. A Catalyst for Collaboration: To achieve systemic sustainability goals, public and private sectors must eliminate operational silos and actively pursue strategic, cross-industry partnerships. Global Market Integration: Embracing robust ESG standards is a vital requirement for local organizations to access competitive global markets and participate effectively in sustainable international supply chains. Transitioning from commitment to concrete action, we urge all government ministries to prioritize the development of clear ESG policy frameworks and fully adopt the progressive principles established at this conference. #ESGConference2026 #centegreenprogramme

"Our mandate in banking extends far beyond providing financial services. It is deeply rooted in our commitment to sustainable development, protecting nature and securing resilient community livelihoods." - Emmanuel Otuko, Manager Sustainability, Centenary Bank. At the official launch of the Radio Maria Uganda Tree Planting Campaign to Grow 1 million trees, Our Manager Sustainability, Mr. Emmanuel Otuko, alongside Ms Chipo Natege, Sabakristu Mapeera Chapel, delivered a powerful message of collective action. Radio Maria’s target of nurturing 1 million trees is an ambitious task that no single institution can achieve alone. To support this vital environmental milestone, Centenary Bank has contributed UGX 15,000,000! This partnership perfectly aligns with our flagship #CenteGreenProgramme, through which we are committed to planting 100,000 trees annually for 5 years. This nationwide green drive is powered in collaboration with the Good Forest Foundation and spans across all 12 Catholic Dioceses in Uganda. While congratulating Radio Maria on their 30-year milestone, Emmanuel shared a vision of returning in another 30 years to witness the fully grown, well-nurtured forests we are planting today God willing. He urged individuals, civil society organizations, and government bodies including the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), who were present at the launch to join hands in this campaign. Together, let's protect our common home! #CenteGreen #CentenaryBank #RadioMariaAt30 #ClimateAction #SDG15 #LifeOnLand #EnvironmentalStewardship

Yesterday, our Bank was proud to stand with our communities at the 2nd annual Urban Refugee Marathon, held at Old Kampala Secondary School! Represented by Michael Opira, Executive Director of Operations, we joined hands with the Office of the President (Diaspora Affairs), the Forum for Youth Organizations, KCCA, UNHCR, and AIRD to champion social cohesion and economic inclusion for urban refugees. Whether taking on the 5km or 10km route, every step represented unity, hope, and a shared future between urban refugees and Ugandan nationals. At Centenary Bank, we believe that together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Thank you to everyone who stepped out to run, support, and make a difference! #CentenaryBank #UrbanRefugeeMarathon
