Doha, Qatar: QNB Group, a leading financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, marked Earth Day with a series of sustainability-focused initiatives aimed at raising environmental awareness among its employees in Qatar and across its international network.

Held under this year’s global theme, ‘Our Power, Our Planet,’ the initiative reflects QNB Group’s continued commitment to integrating sustainable practices into its operations and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility.

The activities organised at QNB Al Mathaf Tower in collaboration with the Group Safety and Security Department, encouraged employees to actively engage in climate-conscious actions as part of their daily routines.

As part of the initiative, employee shuttle services were replaced with electric buses, offering a cleaner and more environmentally friendly commuting alternative. In addition, an electric vehicle-powered coffee station was set up, demonstrating the practical application of renewable energy solutions in everyday experiences.

This initiative forms part of QNB Group’s broader sustainability agenda, reinforcing its role as ‘more than a bank’, an institution that goes beyond traditional banking to contribute positively to society and the environment. Through such efforts, the Group continues to support the environmental pillar of Qatar National Vision 2030, which seeks to balance economic, human, and social development with environmental protection.

QNB Group’s approach is aligned with Qatar’s environmental strategy under the Third National Development Strategy (2024–2030), which prioritises reducing greenhouse gas emissions, expanding renewable energy adoption, and promoting sustainable practices across sectors.

On Earth Day, the Group also announced that it had achieved Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS) Gold certification for its Head Office, reflecting a comprehensive commitment to environmental responsibility across both its operations and employee engagement.
