QNB Group, a leading financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, has launched the first edition of its Marine Life Awareness Month. This annual campaign, held in August, commemorates the one-year anniversary of QNB's Blue Promise, which was introduced in 2025. The initiative included various activities in Qatar and across the group's international network, engaging employees, their families, and local communities in efforts to protect marine ecosystems and reduce plastic pollution.

The Marine Life Awareness Month involved QNB's subsidiaries in several coastal markets, who reaffirmed their commitment through local initiatives such as beach clean-up campaigns, waste reduction efforts, and environmental awareness programs. These activities encouraged employees to adopt sustainable practices and demonstrated the impact of collective action in driving meaningful environmental change. By working together, QNB aims to create a lasting impact on the environment.

In Tunisia, QNB celebrated the anniversary of the Blue Promise by engaging employees and their children in environmental awareness activities. A visit to the Dar Al-Hut museum in Carthage allowed children to explore Tunisia's marine heritage, learn about biodiversity, and understand the importance of conservation efforts. This experience helped foster a connection between young people and environmental conservation, combining education and family participation.

The first edition of Marine Life Awareness Month showcased how QNB's collective commitment can be translated into tangible actions across its operating markets. The group launched various initiatives, including awareness events, educational programs, and community activities focused on beach cleanups and marine conservation. These efforts reflect QNB's dedication to environmental sustainability and its goal of promoting eco-friendly practices.

As QNB's Blue Promise enters its second year, the group remains focused on raising environmental awareness, encouraging responsible behavior among employees, and empowering them to contribute to marine conservation. By engaging employees, their families, and local communities, QNB aims to drive positive change and promote a culture of sustainability. The group's efforts have demonstrated the potential for collective action to drive meaningful environmental impact.
