Our Partnerships
Banque du Caire’s commitment to sustainability is widely clear in its memberships. Along with our financial services, we are aware of the importance of the role we play and our responsibility towards the community we serve.
Our commitment is strongly anchored to our adoption of the International United Nations Global Compact principles as well as other local organisations.
United Nations Global Compact
Banque du Caire’s commitment to sustainability can be effectively observed through its memberships. Our commitment to sustain our daily businesses is anchored to our adoption of the International United Nations Global Compact principles in which we submit an annual Communication on Progress report (PoC).
The United Nations Global Compact is a strategic initiative launched in 2016, which supports global companies who are committed to responsible business practices in various fields highlighting human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. This initiative actively promotes the sustainable development goals to create a much more sustained better world.
Federation of Egyptian Banks
Banque du Caire has proudly joined the Federation of Egyptian Banks (FEB), along with other Egyptian banks supporting its mission to develop Egyptian underprivileged communities under the umbrella of “Renovation of Slum Areas”. With the Federation of Egyptian Banks, we partner strategically with local NGOs to deliver the construction of new elementary and high-school premises in various underprivileged areas. To ensure sustainability in those newly-built premises, BDC assigned bank representatives to closely monitor students’ abilities through the quality of education they receive. Shaping our strategy to align with the country's aim to ensure effective community development in underprivileged areas in Egypt such as providing access to clean drinking water to 282 homes. Every year, the Bank supports different entities and projects that support the community and encourages its development. Additionally, we provide trainings for the schools’ teachers in order for them to provide the best students with the best possible education.
To highlight the year of 2019 and our vocational training initiative, we fully sponsored handcraft exhibitions, where we brought talented workers from underprivileged areas to the capital where they had a more exposure to show their products. We provided them showrooms, widening their market and opening them new opportunity for sales. To sustain their small businesses, we provided them with vocational training in the handcraft field to develop their skills and increase the sales of their products.
