Alba launches plant-wide ESG awareness campaign

MANAMA: Alba has launched its second plant-wide environment, social, and governance (ESG) awareness campaign.

Titled ‘Shaping Our Future’, the campaign was opened with a virtual keynote by Alba chief executive Ali Al Baqali highlighted the company’s progress and adaptability in respect to ESG as well as the integration of Vision 2030 objectives and UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) into the smelter’s five-year strategy.

Concluding on November 4, the campaign will feature more than 20 informative sessions by employees from across the plant, delivered via a hybrid approach – virtual and in person – and touch upon numerous ESG topics, including carbon footprint, cyber security, Industry 4.0, safety as a social responsibility, and water management among many others.

Correspondingly, as part of this Campaign, Alba extended its green initiatives beyond its premises to plant more trees on the main roads around the smelter, thus joining the National Initiative for Agricultural Development (NIAD) ‘Forever Green’ Campaign.

Mr Al Baqali said: “To anchor sustainability at the heart of Alba, we have linked ESG in every aspect of our operations; this was also underlined in our Mission on how to remain competitive while charting a path to greater economic and social well-being.”
