Al Baraka Group and its banking units around the world celebrated the fourth annual Al Baraka Day by carrying out a range of environmental and community initiatives, joined by more than 150 employees.
These initiatives benefited hundreds of individuals, families and wildlife communities across regions where the group operates, highlighting its strong commitment to sustainability and support for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15: Life on Land.
“Al Baraka Day reflects our belief that responsible action can uplift communities and protect the environment,” group chief executive officer Houssem Amor said in a statement.
“Our employees across the globe have demonstrated clear dedication to sustainability and to building a better future for generations to come.
“We are proud of this collective achievement, which embodies the spirit of co-operation and responsibility.”
In Bahrain, the group distributed plants and seed-embedded pencils to its employees to promote environmental and agricultural awareness.
A virtual awareness session was also held for 600 participants from across the group’s units, covering Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles and the SDGs.
Additionally, tree-planting activities were carried out to expand green spaces near the group’s headquarters.
Beyond Bahrain, Al Baraka’s units around the world launched impactful initiatives within their local markets, including Pakistan, Tunisia, Turkey, South Africa, Egypt, Jordan and Syria.
The group says these efforts have led to clear improvements in local environments, including the expansion of green spaces, restoration of forests and reserves, enhanced biodiversity, and strengthened protection of natural habitats, reinforcing Al Baraka Group’s role as an active partner in advancing sustainable development globally.
