ABOUT THE REPORT

The Bahrain Islamic Bank (BisB) Annual Financial and Sustainability Report (the Report or this Report) for the year 2022 highlights the Bank's financial performance and sustainability development. Through this Report, we aim to provide our stakeholders with insights into the financial value created by BisB, and highlight Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets achieved through various industry-lead initiatives and business practices.

In line with BisB's commitment to transparent ESG reporting, the Bank conducted a comprehensive review of its ESG progress in 2022 to help the key stakeholders and investors make informed decisions. To get a complete overview of BisB's performance metrics, we recommend viewing our ESG report along with our consolidated Financial Statements, Risk and capital management disclosure, Corporate Governance, and Remuneration disclosures.

2022 REPORTING SCOPE AND ORGANIZATIONAL PARAMETERS

2022 was an important year for BisB. We continued to invest in new technologies to enhance our digital products and operational capabilities. Furthermore, our bank-wide approach focused on delivering improved customer experience while ensuring ESG progress.

National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) owns 78.81% of shares. Hence, NBB is considered as Parent of the Bank for financial reporting purposes.

  • The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FAS issued AAOIFI and applicable rules and regulations issued by CBB.
  • Ensuring the sustainability content of the Report is in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
  • Following the 32 ESG metrics outlined by the Bahrain's National Stock Exchange (Bahrain Bourse), wherever possible. These metrics are aligned with the Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative.
  • Adhering to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that were developed to achieve environmental sustainability by world economies by 2030.
  • Aligning BisB's ESG initiatives with the Bahrain Economic Vision 2030.

Relevant sections of the Report clearly outline the framework and international reporting standards they adhere to. Further details are included in the GRI Appendix at the end of the Report.
