NBB announces formation of new sustainability committee

The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) announces the formation of its new Sustainability committee composed of individuals from the Bank with the ability to monitor, manage and address topics pertaining to sustainability and responsible banking. The formation of the committee is a natural next step for NBB, following its adoption of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations on a board level, appointing the Bank's Nomination, Remuneration, Governance and Sustainability (NRGS) committee to be responsible for overseeing sustainability integration within NBB's business and operations. The recent changes within the bank work to align NBB's sustainability strategy and roadmap with its goal of becoming an influential market leader and pioneer within the sustainability field in the financial industry. The committee is formed of six members with diverse backgrounds and diligent foundational knowledge, and led by appointed Chair, Dana Buheji, Group Chief Human Resources & Sustainability Officer, who will work to guide the Bank on its ongoing sustainability journey. As part of NBB's efforts towards diversity, the committee is composed equally of both genders, with a 50% male and 50% female ratio, while also being split equally in terms of member representations from both Business and Support internal backgrounds.
