SIC Life Insurance LTD (SIC Life) has commemorated the Green Ghana Day, which has been designated by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources to drive an aggressive afforestation and reforestation programme as part of efforts to restore the country's lost forest cover.
Marking the day on Friday, the Company's management and employees planted over 800 seedlings nationwide.
Themed 'Mobilizing for a Greener Future,' the staff of the Company’s Takoradi, Cape Coast, Koforidua, Ho, Wa, Tamale, and Kumasi branch offices were among those who took part in planting various ornamental plants, shade trees, royal palms, and coconut trees, and other tropical flora.
The Managing Director of SIC Life, Kwaku Appiah-Menka II joined staff in Takoradi for the exercise.
Mr. Appiah-Menka II is of the firm belief that, as a Company, we must be interested in the well-being of the environment in which we live and operate and as such SIC Life must join in taking urgent action in combating climate change and its impact as stated in Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG 13).
He said that apart from its core business of providing tailor-made life insurance products to the Ghanaian public, SIC Life is a Company that is climate change conscious and therefore is always ready to support initiatives like ‘Green Ghana Day’.
Mr. Appiah-Menka II also encouraged staff of SIC Life to take some of the seedlings and plant them in their homes. He urged all Ghanaians to take the nurturing of the trees and plants that were planted on the day as a daily responsibility if we are to achieve the desired goal of a Green Ghana.
In 2017, SIC Life, your life insurer of choice, was the first Life Insurance Company to be inducted into the CIMG Hall of Fame, after having won the CIMG Life Insurance Company of year award five consecutive times.
On Thursday, 10th March 2022, SIC Life changed its name from SIC Life Company Limited to SIC Life Insurance LTD, a change which we would like to bring to the notice of our esteemed customers, stakeholders, and the general public.
All are kindly informed, that henceforth, the Company wishes to be known and referred to as: SIC Life Insurance LTD
However, all documents, business paraphernalia, addresses, contact information and all other corporate items bearing the former name still hold valid.
