Jordan Kuwait Bank has published its fifth annual Sustainability Report, in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards.

This report underscores the bank’s commitment to transparency, the adoption of global best practices in governance and disclosure, and the advancement of both local and international sustainable development goals.

The report offers a comprehensive overview of the bank’s economic, social, and environmental performance throughout 2024. It focuses on managing key material issues that matter to stakeholders and aligns with national priorities, Jordan Vision 2025, and the Central Bank of Jordan’s Green Finance Strategy.

Haethum Buttikhi – Chief Executive Officer at Jordan Kuwait Bank, emphasized: "We began our sustainability journey in 2020 with the launch of our first official strategy, aimed at addressing environmental and social challenges both locally and globally. Since then, we’ve worked to enhance transparency, strengthen accountability, and engage stakeholders meaningfully on our path toward a more sustainable future."
