AHLIBANK UNVEILS EXPANDED CSR STRATEGY FOR 2012

Ahlibank has outlined its expanded corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy for 2012, focusing on a key social theme each month as well as better financial planning.

Expanding away from the private sector's usual Ramadan focus, the bank will be concentrating on safer driving in January, breast cancer in February, saving water in March, exercise in April, smoking in May and global warming in June.

The bank will also be focusing on energy conservation in July, drug addiction in August, education in September, polio in October, disability in November and blood donation in December.

Although bank officials declined to reveal how much money will be set aside for the initiatives, which will be starting in the second week of January, the number of companies and organisations it has tied up with for CSR purposes has grown from 15 in 2009 to 21 currently.

Said al Hatmi, the deputy general manager – finance and corporate secretary at Ahlibank told Muscat Daily that the bank will benefit from its CSR strategy by helping to create a stronger society in the sultanate.
