QNB Group organised the inaugural edition of Marine Life Awareness Month, a new annual campaign held each August to mark the anniversary of the QNB Blue Pledge, which was launched in 2025.
The initiative featured activities in Qatar and across the Group’s international network, bringing together employees, families and local communities to help protect marine ecosystems and reduce plastic pollution.
Throughout the month, QNB entities across several coastal markets translated the Group-wide commitment into locally relevant action, ranging from beach clean-ups and waste reduction to environmental education and employee advocacy. Together, these activities demonstrated how a shared pledge can inspire practical action and create a platform for sustained environmental impact.
In Qatar, Marine Life Awareness Month focused on mobilising employees and reinforcing the shared responsibility behind the Blue Pledge.
Employees reaffirmed their commitment to environmentally responsible practices by highlighting the actions they had taken over the past year and the role individuals can play in protecting marine ecosystems. Their messages were shared across the Group’s social media platforms to raise public awareness, encourage more sustainable everyday choices and inspire wider community participation.
QNB executives also reaffirmed the Group’s commitment to marine conservation, placing the pledge within QNB’s broader environmental, social and governance strategy and net-zero ambition. The initiative supports the environmental objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
