Social responsibility is a fundamental principle of how arab national bank operates, and therefore our approach is based on sustainable best practices that meet the highest professional standards for creating initiatives and programs that meet both the needs of local communities, as well as national development goals. In short, our approach seeks to generate a social impact that we can measure through contributing to the Kingdom’s overall strategic transformation. 
As part of this approach, arab national bank has made the concept of "empowerment" the basis for formulating all of our community initiatives. Empowerment underpins our sustainable model of social responsibility, which in turn leads to pioneering and effective community work and positive societal impact. All of this is supported by a number of principles which help ensure we maintain the highest quality, motivation and results. These include: 

1. Sustainability: We put our energy and resources to work to support both current and future generations, and contribute to the health, well-being and the environment of both local communities and wider society so that they may prosper over the long-term.

2. Evaluation and Measurement: In line with best practices, we evaluate all of the Bank’s community initiatives, programs and activities regularly to measure their impact.

3. Continuous Development: We work towards the long-term, and continuously develop our initiatives, programs and activities to further their impact, expand their reach, increase their value, and ultimately, improve their outcomes for those we seek to support.

4. Voluntary Participation: Employee volunteering is fundamental to the success of our initiatives, programs and activities, and we are always looking to engage our people to participate and volunteer. Volunteering contributes to fostering a supportive work environment as well as to building effective partnerships with charitable bodies, institutions and associations.    

5. Corporate Governance: Effective corporate governance, including robust policies, rules and practices,  ensure that social responsibility is embedded into the Bank’s strategy and operations and help us to maintain the highest levels of excellence in how our social responsibility programs are implemented. Just as importantly, the Bank’s corporate governance oversight helps align our approach to social responsibility with the Kingdom’s national development goals.

6. Innovation: We believe that innovation and creativity are key to developing and delivering initiatives that will have a tangible and direct impact on the lives of those we seek to support, as well as society in general.
