KUWAIT: As part of its corporate social responsibility and corporate sustainability strategy, National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) continues its supports to the Kuwait Dive Team project. Kuwait Dive Team and NBK volunteers lifted 30 tons sunken boat from Fahaheel Waters.
It was an occasion to call on boat owners and fishermen to preserve the environment of the area and call for tightening relevant laws against violators to protect the marine environment of Kuwait.
NBK Public Relations Senior Manager, Yaqoub Al-Baqer, said: "The environment is a major priority for NBK. Protecting and preserving the environment are pivotal elements of our social commitment for the aim of realizing overall sustainability in Kuwait.”
Al Baqer added: "NBK is proud to join Kuwait Dive Team in these initiatives to clean up and preserve the marine environment of the Kuwait Bay, which is one of the main drivers of the national economy.” "NBK is committed to promoting the adoption of socially impactful and accountable practices in Kuwait.
This initiative is in-line with our commitment to raise awareness on the best practices of social responsibility as well as increase awareness to reduce harm and preserve the environment,” he noted. NBK is keen on supporting programs that serve the community and spread awareness in efforts to keep the environment safe and clean.
NBK remains the largest contributor to society. NBK confirmed its commitment to corporate social responsibility through its tireless community development efforts. The Kuwait diving team has been participating in the protection and rehabilitation of Kuwait’s aquatic world through a host of activities that runs the spectrum of positive interaction with the environment.
