Leadway Group, a nonbanking financial services and wellbeing conglomerate, has commenced the second edition of Leadway Cares Week, its flagship annual Corporate Social Responsibility and community engagement programme.

The 2026 edition places renewed emphasis on health, environmental sustainability, employee volunteering and partnerships with communities.

The initiative builds on the inaugural edition, which brought employees and communities together through blood donation, environmental sanitation, market clean-ups, food and incentive donations, free eye testing and medical care.

This year’s programme continues those efforts with another round of health interventions, environmental activities and employee participation, while expanding partnerships with communities across Nigeria and beyond.

Activities for the second edition include environmental sanitation, clean-up exercises, tree planting and blood donation drives across more locations in Nigeria, including Lagos, Ondo, Kaduna and Abuja. The programme also includes cross-border participation in Côte d’Ivoire.

The activities are intended to mobilise employees and partners around practical interventions addressing health and environmental needs.

Speaking on the initiative, Group Chief Executive Officer, Leadway Holdings, Tunde Hassan-Odukale, stressed the importance of sustained social investment.

He said: “We believe our responsibility goes beyond business. Leadway Cares is about showing up beyond our offerings, taking consistent and deliberate action, and creating opportunities for people and communities to grow and thrive.”

Niyi Abiola, Head Corporate Services, Leadway Group, also said the initiative provides an avenue for turning the company’s social responsibility commitments into practical action.

He said: “Leadway Cares Week allows us to move beyond conversations about social responsibility and translate our commitment through concerted action. The strength of the programme lies in bringing our people, partners and communities together to address immediate needs, while creating opportunities for employees to contribute their time, skills and resources.”
