(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Doha Bank added yet another triumph to its growing list of accolades when it won the "Environmental Award" by the Arab Organisation for Social Responsibility.
This is the second successive year that Doha Bank has been honoured with the Environmental Award, which recognises outstanding achievement in environmental stewardship.
The ceremony was attended by Pierre Moukarzel, President of the Arab Organisation for Social Responsibility, Dr Mohammed Essa Al Adwan, Ambassador of the Arabian Cooperation Affairs at the Arab Organisation for Social Responsibility and representatives from various fields.
Khalifa Abdulla Al Kabi, Head of Recovery of Doha Bank, received the award in Dubai.
"At Doha Bank we understand that we have a responsibility towards not only our customers, employees and stakeholders but also towards the planet we live on and the communities in which we operate," said Sheikh Fahad bin Mohammad bin Jabor Al Thani, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Doha Bank. "Improving our own environmental performance through acting in an ecologically responsible manner that helps reduce resource waste and save energy is something we place great emphasis on, and serves as the foundation upon which our community outreach programmes aimed at promoting public awareness and participation in sustainability initiatives are built."
Doha Bank is one of the very few institutions in the region that have an active "green" policy in all areas, and the bank's corporate headquarters in West Bay are LEED certified and designed to save energy while maximising ambient comfort. The Bank also maintains a well-defined Environmental Policy that encourages staff at all levels to "Reduce, Reuse & Recycle" to minimize resource utilisation.
A pioneer in the area of "green banking", Doha Bank has been at the forefront of the Middle East banking sector's transition to paperless banking and has introduced environment-friendly and bio-degradable credit cards.
