Walk For Love Africa (WFLA) project, a flagship programme under African Union Foundation has unveiled the official logo for its Green Classics Golf Tournament.
Toni Ukachukwu, WFLA Chairman in a statement in Lagos, on Tuesday said the tournament had been slated to hold on Saturday June 29 at Ikeja Golf Club.
Ukachukwu said WFLA was saddled with the responsibility of promoting a sustainable Intra-Africa travel, tourism and trade.
He said the event aimed at promoting environmental sustainability and responsible practices, using sports as one of its pillars under tourism.
According to him, the logo featured a stylised design incorporating elements of nature, symbolising the harmony between the game and the environment.
He said the colour scheme reflected the natural world, with shades of green and representing growth, serenity and the planet.
“The Green Classics Golf Tournament, scheduled for 29th of June at Ikeja Golf Club will bring together business leaders, golf enthusiasts and environmental advocates to raise awareness and funds for sustainable initiatives.
“The event will feature a competitive golf tournament, networking opportunities and educational sessions on environmental best practices.
“WFLA is committed to promoting sustainable development and environmental stewardship through the Green Classics Golf Tournament
“We believe that small actions today can lead to a significant positive impact on ESG and our planet’s future whilst using different programmes to promote travel, tourism and trade ecosystem in Africa and supporting UN SDGs.
“For us Green Classics is more than a game as it seeks to make environmental impact across Africa using golf which contributes to sequestration and carbon balance,” he said.
Ukachukwu noted that environmental sustainability was no longer a choice but a business imperative.
He however, called on corporate brands and well meaning individuals to partner with WFLA on the inaugural WFLA Green Classics Golf Tournament and be part of the movement towards a more sustainable future. (NAN) (nannews.ng)
