Arab Bank Switzerland Foundation for Sustainability

Arab Bank Switzerland (ABS) is aware of the challenges the world is facing in relation to climate change and is committed to dedicate resources to make a significant impact.

To articulate this commitment, we have formed the Arab Bank Switzerland Foundation for Sustainability with a clear mission to engage our clients and stakeholders within the framework of sustainable development goals.

The Foundation’s Mission

To empower clients and stakeholders to support and develop initiatives that protect the environment, promote energy transition and protect the rights of the individual.

The Foundation’s Goals

To ensure the foundation has a clear framework to achieve its mission, its work is particularly set on the following three pillars:

Promoting Energy Transition

Support research initiatives and active programs developing renewable energy sources or improving the efficiency of existing technology.

Protecting the Environment

Support initiatives that tackle climate change and promote or protect biodiversity.

Protecting the Individual

Especially the rights of women and children.

As the foundation will evolve, we will engage with our stakeholders to adapt and develop our goals.

How the Foundation Will Work
