FNB planting trees in celebration of 30 years

This year marks the 30th birthday of the FNB Brand. Madri van Wyk, Marketing Manager at FNB Namibia explains: “On 30 September 1987 our logo and name were born. In commemoration of our very iconic brand, our branches across the country planted Acacia trees at various locations as a lasting symbol of the brand. The Acacia tree in our logo is a representation of our history. Our roots run deep, and we have grown thanks to our commitment to serving the needs of our clients and communities. The tree also symbolises prosperity and growth for the communities we serve and for the whole country.”

The FNB Coastal Cluster planted Acacia trees at Walvis Bay Private School where the Learners Representative Committee named the tree ‘Frikkie”. More Acacia trees were also planted at Swakopmund Primary School, Arandis Primary School, and in Henties Bay at Kwamwandi Junior Combined School.

The Far North cluster planted 10 trees (3 Acacia and 7 others) along one of the main roads in Okahao. They partnered with the fire fighters of the Okahao Town Council.

The Treasury department of FNB Namibia also participated in the FNB Brand birthday celebrations by planting a tree at the Hope Village in Greenwell Matongo Katutura. This place is home to more than 90 children, from infants to young adults. Hope Village has been Treasury’s chosen charity for 2017.
