Our commitment to the environment and community

Environmental Awareness

At CIB, reducing our carbon footprint is an urgent priority. Our Going Green campaign encourages employees to save paper, water, electricity and other consumables at our head offices and across our locations. Among many initiatives, energy efficient lighting and water-flow restrictors conserve energy and water across our workplaces. We are always working to improve the environmental sustainability of our facilities and systems. In line with our commitment to transparency and corporate sustainability, we produce our Carbon Footprint Report and are conducting greenhouse gas inventories across our locations.

Community Investment

Our employees demonstrate time and again their dedication to the wider community. CIB supports health, culture, and education programs for children; initiatives for youth empowerment and volunteerism; and public events for persons with disabilities; and our employees participate generously. Every year at branches around Egypt, they take part in CIB's blood donation campaign to help meet blood transfusion needs in Egypt, and through community and charitable events, they raise money for children's cancer research and other worthy causes.

Squash Tournament Sponsorships

CIB has expanded its squash-related sponsorships to open doors for more Egyptian athletes to progress in the PSA world rankings.

The most notable sponsorship in 2020 was the CIB Egyptian Squash Open Women’s & Men’s Platinum, which took place simultaneously in front of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and brought together 96 athletes with total prize of USD 540,000.
