إن إلتزام البنك الأهلى سوسيتيه جنرال تجاه تطوير وتنمية المجتمع يعد أحد أسس التزامنا المهنى. إننا – كعاملين بالبنك الأهلى سوسيتيه جنرال – ننتمى لهذا المجتمع حيث ندين له بالكثير الذى ساعدنا على الوصول إلى المكانة الحالية للبنك كأحد الفاعلين الرئيسيين فى القطاع المصرفى المصرى، الأمر الذى يحتم علينا أن نقوم بمسئوليتنا الاجتماعية بنفس الروح المهنية العالية عند القيام بأعمال مصرفنا.
إن رؤية البنك تجاه المسئولية الاجتماعية، التى بدأت منذ عدة سنوات، إنما هى رؤية أساسها التنوع الذى يهدف إلى إحداث تأثير فى مجالات مختلفة من المجتمع مواكباً الإهتمام فى ذات الوقت بالبعد الثقافى الداعم للمستقبل. ففى المجال الطبى، قام البنك بتمويل شراء العديد من المعدات الطبية وإهدائها لعدد من المستشفيات العامة لمساعدة المرضى المحتاجين التى تقدم لهم الخدمة الطبية مجاناً. وفى مجال الرعاية الاجتماعية، لا ننسى يوم اليتيم الذى نظمه البنك لأيتام دار الأورمان خلال العام الماضى ليضع البسمة على وجوه هؤلاء الأطفال خلال شهر رمضان. أما البعد الثقافى، فقد قام البنك برعاية قاعتى المجوهرات والبرديات بالمتحف المصرى الكبير والذى يعد ثانى أكبر مشروع ثقافى فى هذا القرن تبعاً لتصنيف مجلة التايمز. وحفاظاً على التراث الحضارى المصرى، قام البنك بالمشاركة فى مشروع ترميم متحف الأقصر القومى ومعبد الرامسيوم بأبى سمبل.
وخلال هذا العام، تم تشكيل فريق عمل من مختلف القطاعات مهمته تنظيم العمل الخيرى الذى يرعاه البنك والذى توسع ليشمل ثلاث نشاطات خيرية لهذا العام وهى تنظيم يوم اليتيم مرة أخرى خلال رمضان المقبل مع توسيع النشاطات الترفيهية للأطفال وتوفير إحتياجاتهم لإدخال السعادة عليهم، وكذلك سيعمل البنك على توفير الاحتياجات الأساسية لإحدى قرى الصعيد من خلال توفير التمويل اللازم لإقامة أحد المشروعات الخدمية بها. وأخيرا سيقوم البنك بتوسيع وتطوير وحدة الأطفال المبتسرين بمستشفى بنها للأطفال.
وانا أدعو جميع العاملين بالبنك الأهلى سوسيتيه جنرال بأن يشاركوا فى هذه الأنشطة الخيرية بفاعلية ليعكسوا مدى إلتزامنا تجاه المجتمع. وفريق العمل الخيرى بالبنك سوف يسعده تلقى أفكاركم ومقترحاتكم فى هذا الشأن والتى ستؤخذ بمنتهى الجدية لاختيار أنسبها من أجل مجتمع أفضل لكم وللآخرين.

NSGB's commitment towards the growth & development of the society is one of our professional commitment pillars. We, NSGB staff, owe this society a lot for supporting us to reach our current status as one of the key players in the Egyptian banking sector. As part of our belonging, we carry out our social responsibility in the same professional way as handling our business.
Our vision regarding the social responsibility, which started several years ago, is based on diversity and positive influence in different social fields; in parallel with the cultural dimension that supports the future. Derived by this vision, NSGB donated several medical equipments to a number of public hospitals to help the poor patients in need of free medical services. Also, in the field of social welfare, we all remember the orphans' day that was organized by the bank for the orphans of Dar El Orman last year during Ramadan in which we draw a smile on the children faces.
As for the cultural dimension, the bank sponsored the halls of jewelries and papyrus in the Grand Egyptian Museum project, ranked as the second largest project in the century according to the "Times Magazine". In order to preserve the Egyptian heritage, the bank participated in the restoration project of the National Luxor Musuem and the Ramesseum temple in Abo Simbel.
This year, a Charity Team from different divisions was formed to be responsible for organizing all the charity initiatives sponsored by NSGB. We will expand our CSR initiatives to include an orphan's day during next Ramadan, developing one of the poorest villages in the Upper Egypt and finally financing the extension of the Premature Unit in Banha Children Hospital.
I invite all NSGB staff to effectively participate in these charitable initiatives in order to reflect our commitment towards our society. The charity team is eagerly waiting to receive your contributions, ideas and suggestions that will be taken seriously for implementation for the sake of a better society.

It was a Wonderful Night
In Egypt, the Holy month of Ramadan is a great occasion for social communication that's why NSGB organized a full entertainment day for a more than 100 orphans in Wadi Degla Sports Club. The bank Management and staff were present.
The entertainment day included matches in different sports in addition to artistic and cultural contests. The bank staff shared the different contests with children and focused on giving them joy and making them happy. Lovely smiles were drawn on children’s innocent faces and they felt as if they were an integral part of the NSGB family.
This day was organized to support the social correlations and was part of NSGB’s commitment towards its social responsibility. NSGB pays a great attention to the whole society in general, and orphans in particular to meet with these children and contribute to make them happy.
After enjoying a wonderful Ramadan summer night, gifts and toys were distributed amongst the children who were so excited and happy.
Benha Hospital for Children
Benha public Hospital for Children is the only specialized one in the Delta. The hospital receives about 600 patients every month in addition to a waiting list of 25 patients each day. The present capacity of the hospital cannot accommodate that number especially for the pediatric intensive care section. NSGB is planning to renovate, extend and equip that section to increase the number of beds from 19 to 35 according to the official medical standards. The staff will participate in the project by doing some of the painting stuff in addition they will visit and present gifts to the patient children in the hospital.
Contribution to Develop a Village in Fayoum
Within the national project to develop the poorest 1000 villages in Egypt, NSGB, in cooperation with a Charity Corporation, will sponsor one/more of the development projects in one of the poor villages in El-Fayoum (about 100km from central Cairo) aiming at upgrading the living standard for the local inhabitants. Our target is to get the involvement of the staff to make field visit for this village to assess the real needs of the locals and to participate in making their life standard better.
