Alba: Building Together & Growing Together
As a cornerstone of Bahrain’s industrial heritage, Alba’s
commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is
woven into the very fabric of our operations. We believe
that true success is measured not only by our achievements
as a leading aluminium producer but also by the positive
impact we create in the community we serve. Building upon
our 50-plus year legacy, 2024 saw Alba’s CSR initiatives
illuminating pathways for environmental stewardship,
nurturing local talent, empowering women, and fostering
the sustainable development of Bahraini society.
Empowering Through Partnership and Engagement
We understand that collaboration is the catalyst for
progress. Alba actively partners with diverse
organisations, from educational institutions to vocational
centers, to deliver transformative training and workshops
that empower individuals with essential skills and a
thirst for lifelong learning. Our partnership with INJAZ
Bahrain demonstrates this commitment. In 2024, a
remarkable 77 Alba employees dedicated their time and
expertise, delivering 111 training sessions and
contributing a total of 1,040 hours of invaluable training
to Bahraini students. This collaborative effort not only
empowers the next generation but also aligns seamlessly
with Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030.
Beyond education, we champion the spirit of athleticism
and cultural enrichment. Our unwavering support for local
and international sporting events, including the Rashed
Equestrian & Horseracing Club activities, HM the King’s
Youth Endurance Race, Alba Sports Festival, and the
Bahrain F1 Grand Prix, reflects our dedication to
promoting a vibrant and dynamic society. Similarly, our
patronage of arts and cultural institutions like the
Shaikh Ebrahim bin Mohamed Cultural Centre and Beit Al
Quran underscores our belief in the power of culture to
inspire and unite.
Direct Community Initiatives: Nurturing a Brighter
Future
Throughout 2024, Alba extended its reach to the heart of
the community, launching impactful initiatives that
addressed critical needs and fostered a sense of shared
responsibility. In harmony with HRH the Crown Prince and
Prime Minister Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa’s
National Tree Week initiative, we planted trees at our Al
Dana Garden, symbolising our commitment to environmental
sustainability. Furthermore, our collaboration with public
authorities resulted in the planting of thousands of local
trees along King Hamad Highway, complemented by an
advanced sustainable irrigation system. Our volunteers
also joined the Southern Governorate’s “We Protect our
Desert” campaign, cleaning up the areas surrounding the
iconic “Tree of Life.”
Success: Measured by Community Impact. We believe our
achievements are defined not just by production, but
by the lasting positive change we create.
Ali Al Baqali
Alba’s CEO
We prioritised safety and health, hosting emergency
readiness workshops for Ministry of Works engineers and
conducting summer preparation workshops for our contractor
companies. Our month-long Breast Cancer Awareness
Campaign, featuring medical check-ups and informative
lectures, empowered our female employees with knowledge
and support.
We also embraced inclusivity, hosting the Bahrain Sports
Deaf Association’s bowling league and organising a day of
fun and games for the children of the Al Sanabel Orphan
Care Society. Further, we welcomed students from prominent
schools and universities, including the University of
Bahrain and Applied Science University, providing them
with invaluable insights into our operations and the vital
role we play in Bahrain’s economy.
A Legacy of Impact and Inspiration
By weaving our values and ethics into the fabric of our
daily operations, Alba has become a catalyst for positive
change in the community. Our unwavering commitment to CSR
was recognised with the prestigious Al Bilad CSR Award
2024 (Grand Prize), a testament to our dedication to
making a meaningful difference. As we look to the future,
Alba remains steadfast in its pursuit of excellence in
CSR, striving to create a legacy of impact that not only
strengthens our business but also enriches the lives of
those we serve.
