Burgan Bank Highlights Climate Change By Observing Earth Day

As part of its ongoing efforts to preserve the environment, Burgan Bank supported the global movement – ‘World Earth Day’ by switching off non-essential lights and cutting off power throughout most of its branches for one hour.

In line with its company ethos, ‘Driven by you... Motivated by sustainability”, Burgan Bank marked ‘World Earth Day’ by shedding light on the importance of conserving Kuwait’s natural resources and energy by encouraging the adoption of positive practices among the employees and the community.

Manager - Public Relations at Burgan Bank, Ms. Hessa Hussain Al-Najadah commented on the movement: “As part of its social responsibility to bring about positive change, Burgan Bank celebrates ‘World Earth Day’, one of the most important environmental initiatives, each year. We encourage the community, our staff and more specifically, the younger generations to participate in awareness-raising actions that make a difference such as reducing water and energy consumption to limit global warming.  Burgan Bank will continue to support similar initiatives that will lead to an environmentally conscious society and inspire a journey towards embracing sustainable development. “

Burgan Bank's support of this initiative falls under its full-fledged community program entitled ‘ENGAGE’ – Together to be the change. This program sheds light on important aspects affecting every segment of the society by promoting social welfare through educational, environmental, cultural, social and health initiatives. Burgan Bank’s approach to 'ENGAGE' begins with a vital principle that as a Kuwaiti financial institution, its conduct and policies should be aligned with the needs and interests of the society.
