Seven-Up Bottling Company (SBC) has rewarded schools with N5 million as part of its 2024 Sustainability Week, which promoted circular economy and environmental stewardship among students in Lagos State. The event, themed “Championing Circular Economy in Our Business and Communities – The SABI Way,” brought together students, educators, NGOs, and government officials to tackle plastic pollution and promote sustainable practices. The Green-Skill Schools Challenge, held at SBC’s manufacturing plant, drew applications from 330 schools, with 18 selected for the final exhibition. Three schools emerged victorious, sharing cash prizes totaling N5 million. The event also included a Green Skill Scale-Up Bootcamp, organized in partnership with key organizations, to support further training and capacity-building. The Commissioner for Education and the Special Adviser on Climate Change and Circular Economy praised SBC’s efforts, emphasizing the importance of integrating sustainability into youth education. The event was part of SBC’s broader Sustainability Week activities, which also included an internal green competition and the distribution of waste segregation bins to schools and markets.
