Chandigarh, July 22nd, 2024: Axis Bank, one of the largest private sector banks in India, has been recognised by the Asia Book of Records for its nationwide cleanliness drive ‘Open for the Planet Clean-A-Thon’. Axis Bank was felicitated by Asia Book of Records with two titles – ‘Highest tonnage of garbage collected over a week, across multiple tourist spots,’ and ‘Highest number of tourist spots cleaned over a week’. This is the second consecutive year that the Bank’s remarkable contribution towards nature conservation has been recognized on an international platform. This achievement reflects the Bank’s dedication to environmental protection and sustainable development.
During the week-long cleanliness drive scheduled from June 5 to June 12, 2024, Axis Bank collaborated with 24 NGOs and collected close to 13,000 kg of waste from twenty-three tourist locations such as Varanasi Ghats, Qutub Minar in Delhi, Kaziranga National Park in Assam, Golconda Fort in Hyderabad, Mall Road in Shimla, etc. Around 4,649 volunteers, including branch employees, customers, environmental activists, and local authorities enthusiastically participated in the ‘Open for the Planet Clean-A-Thon’ campaign.
