Also recognised at the 15th Annual CSR Awards
Financial literacy sessions run under NFLP-II target the unbanked
Framed as an extension of the bank's Shariah-compliant mission, not marketing

Faysal Bank's CSR work follows from a specific mandate. Since the bank's conversion to a fully Islamic identity, its Board has directed CSR strategy to evolve in step with Islamic values — so every community program is framed as an extension of the bank's Shariah-compliant mission, not a marketing add-on. That covers financial inclusion, education, and climate resilience programs, detailed below.

The bank's stated CSR mission is "to establish, operate and/or assist any non-profit institution for charitable purposes, including relief to poor, education, environment, medical relief and advancement of any general utility." Its CSR activities are structured to reach the specific communities and geographies where it has branches.
