Arab Bank : Supports the Soap House Project in Ajloun Forest Reserve

Arab Bank has signed a joint collaboration agreement with the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) to establish a production line for liquid soap as part of Soap House project in Ajloun Forest Reserve.

This collaboration reflects Arab Bank's commitment to supporting vital efforts aimed at achieving sustainable community and environmental development through implementing initiatives that have a positive economic, social, and environmental impact. This is in addition to supporting environmental protection projects that contribute to economic development and enhance the living standards of local communities.

Through the agreement, the RSCN will initiate a liquid soap production line in response to increasing demand, guided by research and studies conducted by the society to enhance the visitor experience and meet their evolving needs. Additionally, the RSCN will introduce a new product to the current lineup, made with virgin olive oil, thus facilitating the integration of production between the soap workshop in Ajloun and the pottery and ceramics workshop in Dibeen Forest Reserve, to create pottery packaging for the liquid soap, further contributing to the conservation of nature around the region.

Mr. Fadi Naser, Director-General at the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, said: "This agreement represents an important step towards enhancing sustainability and the conservation of nature. It will also help create additional job opportunities and improve the income of the local community surrounding the reserve."

It is worth mentioning that Arab Bank has taken an active role in the community by adopting a comprehensive strategic approach and collaborating with several NGOs to achieve sustainable economic, social, and environmental development. "Together", Arab Bank's corporate social responsibility program is a multi-faceted program that works on improving and developing different aspects of the community. Through a variety of initiatives and activities, the program aims to serve the community in areas related to health, poverty alleviation, environmental protection, education, orphan support, and women empowerment.
