Brac has taken an initiative to use environment-friendly materials which will be in effect from Monday.
A memo signed by Asif Saleh, executive director of Brac, said that the organization stopped using PVC banners and all other one-time campaign materials made of plastics as part of its environ-friendly policy, says a press release issued on Sunday.
This initiative is a part of the organization's effort to curb its carbon footprint through environment-friendly measures.
Brac has formulated its strategy and infrastructural targets to reduce carbon emission across all its offices. The measures in this regard include stopping the use of all one-time campaign materials such as one-time PVC banners and replacing those with cloth and other environment-friendly materials.
The initiative also includes stopping the using of one-time plastic bottles, bags, spoons, straws and other
materials/utensils in all events of Brac, and ensure use of environment-friendly materials as much as possible for all organizational purposes.
A close monitoring system has also been put in place to ensure rigorous policy and strategy implementation.
Brac's first initiative in this regard was brought into effect on November 1, 2019, under
which use of one-time plastic bottles was forbidden at all Brac offices.
