nbk staff and volunteers clean kubbar island
National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) in its continuous efforts to build awareness on the growing environment challenges being faced by Kuwait, recently organized a day long beach clean up event at the Kubbar Island.
The clean up initiative undertaken by the NBK staff and volunteers was aptly titled ‘Think Twice’.
“The planned environmental campaign is another manifestation of NBK's deep commitment to the community, which by far, exceeds the role normally expected from a banking institution,” said Manal Al Matar, NBK Public Relations Manager.
The NBK team spent an entire day cleaning the island and left a number of thrash cans for visitors to use when they would visit the island.
‘Think Twice’ beach clean up campaign is just the beginning of similar events planned by NBK this entire summer. “It is a comprehensive campaign to maintain and save our environment,” added Al Matar.
The multi-phased environment campaign will witness numerous activities both educational and fun at Kuwait’s various malls; NBK branches, online, etc.
NBK is also slowly but steadily moving towards an environment friendly bank. With this campaign, the bank aims to highlight the need to protect the environment and educate the general public about the benefits of being environmentally-friendly as well as motivate NBK's clients and staff members to voluntarily participate in such activities.
