On the social level, the bank continues its efforts to promote financial inclusion, support entrepreneurship, small and medium enterprises, empower youth and women, and develop human capabilities, while being keen to contribute to the development of local communities and establish a work environment based on justice, diversity and equal opportunities.
Recognizing that sound corporate governance is the cornerstone of sustainability practices, the bank is committed to applying the highest standards of integrity, compliance and risk management, and promoting a culture of corporate responsibility in all its operations and activities, in order to support performance sustainability and protect the interests of stakeholders.
Dr. Hussein Said emphasized that sustainable financial success is inseparable from a positive contribution to achieving the goals of sustainable national development. Therefore, the bank is keen to continue to play its role as an active partner in building a more prosperous, resilient and sustainable economic future for future generations, and for its work to be an engine for positive change and a sustainable source of value for all stakeholders, reinforcing its commitment to institutional excellence and social responsibility, so that it always remains a landmark in the journey of comprehensive and sustainable development.
