Alba initiates its First ESC campaign ‘Achieving the Balance’

On 13th June 2021, Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba) initiated its first-of-its-kind Campaign ‘Achieving the Balance’ that emphasis on Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) matters. Alba joins its peers in the GCC to mark the ESG Week under the umbrella of the Gulf Aluminium Council (GAC) with the launch of this campaign.

Alba’s ESG Campaign ‘Achieving the Balance’ will be held virtually until 17th June 2021 and focus on its sustainable initiatives that are sequenced with Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030.

Ali Al Baqali, Alba’s Chief Executive Officer, while speaking about the ESG campaign said: “Global challenges such as Climate Change, Environment Conservation, Clean Energy and COVID-19 pandemic have prompted a sense of urgency to rebalance ESG matters.”

“In Alba, we want to be the ESG change we want to see in the world. As one of the leading companies in Bahrain, we can only produce responsibly by achieving the balance between our business activities and sustainable initiatives.”

This Campaign kicked off with a virtual keynote by Al Baqali to all employees and contractors’ personnel on Sunday 13 June 2021. Alba Management will present, via virtual lectures during this week, topics revolving around the Reduction of Green House Gases, Creating a Sustainable Social Impact, and Responsible Sourcing, amongst other matters.

A live debate will also be held on Climate Change between two teams comprising Alba employees on the last day of this Campaign. Moreover, Alba officials will participate in additional activities that are being held in cooperation with the Gulf Aluminium Council (GAC).
