CBK as a socially responsible financial institution
Commercial Bank of Kuwait has always strived to be a good corporate citizen by being in the heart of social activities. The Bank has a significant footprint in society servicing which was ingrained within its corporate culture. Long years back, the Bank continues its efforts targeting support of all social activities. Being the second oldest Bank in Kuwait, CBK assumes its prominent role as a socially responsible financial institution in Kuwait by employing all its resources and capabilities to support education, health, culture, entertainment and environment activities in Kuwait. This comes out of the Bank’s firm belief that Corporate Social Responsibility effectively contributes in attaining sustainable growth of society.
These efforts were recognized with the Bank receiving a prestigious GCC-CSR Award where it was honored at the sideline of the 33rd session of the Council of Ministers of Labor & Council of Social Affairs of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for Arab States which was held in Riyadh. The Bank’s “HawwenAlihom” campaign launched 5 years back has been selected and named as the 2016 pioneering CSR project. This innovative campaign was meant to help construction workers and road cleaners and distribute some gifts that suit their needs as they work under tough weather conditions and to share this segment their celebration of auspicious occasions and feasts to bring happiness to their hearts and draw smile on their faces. This reflects the Bank’s belief in the main role of this segment in preserving the environment and keeping it clean.

efforts towards social responsibility through sponsorship & support and participation in diverse
social activities and the different humanitarian & philanthropic events that illustrate the Bank’s
focus on underpinning the comprehensive concept of social responsibility and its contribution
