On the occasion of Qatar Environment Day, Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), Qatar’s leading digital bank, announced a special initiative to commemorate the event. In line with its dedication to environmental awareness and Corporate Social Responsibility, QIB distributed small plants to its employees, encouraging them to embrace sustainability and contribute to a greener future.
With the main purpose of instilling a sense of responsibility towards protecting the environment and promoting sustainable practices in the workplace, QIB’s initiative underscores its ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and its proactive approach toward fostering a culture of sustainability within the bank workforce.
Each plant was accompanied by a message related to sustainability, emphasizing the importance of collective action in preserving the environment and working towards a more sustainable future. Through this gesture, QIB seeks to inspire its employees to integrate environmentally friendly practices into their daily lives and contribute to building a greener community.
Commenting on the initiative, Mashaal Abdulaziz Al Derham, Assistant General Manager, Head of Corporate Communications & Quality Assurance, said: “As we commemorate Qatar Environment Day, QIB is pleased to launch this green initiative aimed at raising awareness about the importance of environmental conservation among our employees. By providing small plants, we hope to inspire our staff to adopt eco-friendly practices and play an active role in protecting the environment.”

The State of Qatar has been celebrating Environment Day since 1996 every February 26th, and this year it runs under the slogan “Our Earth Our Legacy”. The aim is to remind and draw attention to the fact that protecting the homeland’s environment is everyone’s responsibility, especially since the issue of the environment has become a global concern. This initiative aims to increase environmental awareness among the public, enhance knowledge, skills, trends, and values associated with the safety and recovery of Qatar’s environment.
