The QNB Group, a major 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, marks the one-year anniversary of QNB's Blue Pledge initiative, which aims to contribute to the preservation of marine ecosystems and reduce plastic pollution. The campaign involves various activities across the group's international network, engaging employees, their families, and local communities.

The QNB Group's Blue Pledge initiative has led to a series of activities in several coastal markets, including beach cleanups, plastic waste reduction efforts, and marine conservation awareness programs. The group's employees have been encouraged to adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives. These efforts demonstrate QNB's commitment to sustainable development and its goal of generating a positive impact on the environment for future generations.

In Tunisia, QNB Tunisia celebrated the first anniversary of the Blue Pledge campaign by organizing educational activities for its employees and their children. A visit to the Dar El Hout museum in Carthage Salammbô provided an opportunity for the children to learn about Tunisia's maritime heritage, biodiversity, and conservation efforts. This initiative aimed to raise awareness among young participants about environmental issues and promote a culture of sustainability.

The Marine Life Awareness Month has showcased QNB's ability to translate a shared commitment into concrete actions with a positive impact across its operating markets. The campaign has included a range of initiatives, from awareness and education programs to community beach cleanups and plastic waste reduction efforts. These activities have helped raise collective awareness about the importance of protecting oceans and marine biodiversity.

The QNB Group's Blue Pledge initiative has entered its second year, with the group reaffirming its commitment to promoting environmental responsibility and sustainable development. The initiative aims to educate and engage employees, while providing opportunities for local communities to contribute to marine conservation and environmental protection.
