Policies and Frameworks

AlRayan Bank launched in 2022 its Sustainable Finance Framework. This framework integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into its main business and investment plans. Through this framework, the Bank offers innovative products and services to address environmental and social issues, promoting financial inclusion and fighting climate change. As the first Islamic bank to introduce a sustainable finance framework with a second-party opinion from S&P, AlRayan Bank's commitment supports its sustainability goals, contributing to Qatar's National Vision and aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The ESG policy establishes a cohesive framework for Al Rayan Bank's ESG commitments, ensuring all divisions are aligned in their approach. To support effective implementation, the policy provides detailed, topic-specific policies and position statements that guide practical application in business, risk management, services, and control functions. Adhering to all relevant legislative and regulatory ESG mandates is not just a requirement; it reflects the bank's commitment to responsible banking. Furthermore, the bank actively aligns with local and international sustainability standards, emphasizing its dedication to environmental protection, minimizing climate impact, upholding human and labor rights, and promoting anti-corruption initiatives.
