Dr. Kharabsheh praised Jordan Kuwait Bank’s management for its response and cooperation to preserve the aesthetic and environmental aspects of different areas in the Kingdom, and that it is voluntary work as well as national duty that everyone is responsible for, and that requires joint efforts to maintain a clean and pollution free environment. On his part, Jordan Kuwait Bank’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Kabariti said: “We decided to fund this important project as it comes in line with the Bank’s Social Responsibility efforts and strategy to actively participate in combatting the environmental challenges facing the Country, put an end to littering and finding effective solutions, and committing to safeguarding the environment for future generations”. Kabariti added: “Jordan Kuwait Bank’s social responsibility activities and efforts are an embodiment of its corporate identity and social role alongside its financial and economic role in the banking sector and represents an important pillar in its mission to achieve sustainable development”. It is worth noting that the Bank will fund the costs related to this project and cover operational costs to ensure sustainability and provide the best of services to the park’s visitors. The part will be built on a 30-donum plot of land which will house green spaces, walkways, kids’ play areas and attention to other facilities.
