Initiatives
All what we do, we do for social responsibility
We developed our programs, initiatives, and activities related to social responsibility. This aims to promote the ambitions and aspirations of Jordan Ahli Bank (ahli bank) to achieve a positive impact on the local communities. The Bank was successful in achieving its objective, through its contributions and initiatives, whether on an individual basis or on a collective basis, and through many effective partnerships with various civil society institutions. The bank also provided financial and non- financial assistance to aid a number of non-profit organizations. The initiatives we have selected are in line with our strategic pillars of social responsibility and cover: Community Empowerment, Education and Youth, The Environment, Social Innovation and Creativity, Art and Culture.
Community Empowerment
Within the framework of the partnership between the Bank and Naua for Sustainable Development, an initiative of Crown Prince Foundation, which aims to embed a culture of giving in society by linking donors with non-governmental organizations, and based on the Bank’s belief in the need to support national efforts to address societal challenges that effect on large sectors of society, the Bank provided its support to the Ministry of Health by supporting the “Together to Face Corona” campaign, which came as a result of the exceptional circumstances that Jordan is going through due to the Corona pandemic, in an effort to enhance the Ministry’s ability to combat the ramifications of this crisis. In solidarity with the affected families during the pandemic period, the Bank supported the “Daily laborers” initiative aimed at distributing food parcels to these families according to the distribution mechanism approved by the official authorities concerned to ensure parcels reach those most in need.
