Paramount Bank Limited is an annual sponsor of the Eldoret City Marathons in liaison with the County Government of Uasin Gishu since its inception back in 2018. The marathons are held yearly in Eldoret town.
Due to the on-going Covid-19 Pandemic, the marathon did not happen last year in 2020, but instead a tree planting ceremony was held.
As a way to conserve the environment and continue with our corporate social responsibility, the Bank participated in the tree planting campaign that was held at Kapseret forest, Simat/Kapseret Ward, Kapseret Sub-County by the County Government of Uasin Gishu and the Eldoret City Marathon.
The event was themed as ‘Climate Action’, which saw over 10,000 trees planted to mark the 2020’s edition of the Annual City Marathon.
During the campaign, a number of Government officials were in attendance advising the people on the importance of conserving the environment through planting more trees giving a target of 15% forest cover by the year 2022 from the current stand which is at 10% forest cover.
