Al Sager: NBK contributions for social development over a quarter billion Dollars

NBK's Deputy Chief Executive officer Isam Al-Saqr said that in parallel to NBK's locally and regionally pioneering and leading role within the banking industry, we endeavor to act upon a solid and consistent philanthropic and socially-oriented approach targeting the fulfillment of NBK's corporate citizenship, adding that 'the Bank and Society Committee' that addresses community issues and social causes, embraces most of the upper management members, the fact that mirrors the extent of concern and devotion NBK bestows upon the social dimension which constitutes an integral part of its mission.

' The list of NBK's contributions during this period is quite beyond measure, most prominent of which includes activating the efforts made by the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR), making USD 11 million donation for constructing a pediatrics hospital, beefing up the activities of the cooperative societies by contributing over USD 18 million and support of local workforce by over USD 50 million,' he concluded.
