Initiatives

Lighting up the future with sustainability. We're proud to participate in Qatar Sustainability Week by turning off the lights in our public areas for 60 minutes.

Qatar Islamic Bank is committed to optimizing its supply chain in an environmentally responsible manner. 

In this regard, QIB has partnered with DHL’s GoGreen Plus program, a key initiative aimed at reducing the carbon emissions associated with global logistics by leveraging the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) which has the potential to reduce aviation emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional jet fuels. 

In its ambition to create a fair and just society, where every individual has an equal and easy access to financial services, QIB has introduced the QIB Lite App.

The Lite App has been launched as part of QIB’s commitment to financial inclusion, fostering greater access to financial services for low-income workers. Recognizing the diverse and multicultural fabric of the community, the bank has introduced a simplified version of its flagship QIB Mobile app, available in multiple languages, offering the most popular services required by this segment of customers. 

As part of our commitment to sustainability, our engineering team demonstrated remarkable creativity and innovation by repurposing waste materials into functional and aesthetically pleasing items. This initiative not only showcased their technical skills but also reinforced our commitment to environmental sustainability.
