introduction Al Baraka Social Responsibility Program Return to Contents Social Responsibility is, in essence, an approach towards all aspects of an organization s business activities with the aim of meeting the needs of the organization, its shareholders, employees and customers whilst sustaining the resources human and natural that will be needed over the long term. Social Responsibility aims to create long-term economic growth through the careful management of natural resources (e.g. reduction of energy usage, waste management, etc.), development of human resources (through training, personal development and career and succession planning), and the general enhancement of the quality of life throughout society. The concept of Social Responsibility fits easily with the business ethics of Islam and, therefore, with Al Baraka s traditional principles and philosophy. Our philosophy, in essence, is that Allah grants mankind the capacity to inherit the land on this earth and therefore that mankind is not the owner of wealth, but is entrusted with it. As the purpose of mankind is to construct, embellish and build on this earth, we are therefore ordained to create jobs and opportunities for others. Thus, the wealth bestowed upon us must therefore be invested in creating the wealth and opportunities in the society. As members of a banking group founded on Islamic principles and values, we at Al Baraka believe that we have a particular obligation to society, through patronage and sponsorship of educational and social projects, to enhance the living conditions and quality of life of needful individuals in the local communities, of which we are part. In meeting this commitment to society, we make all possible efforts to apply one of the important philosophical pillars of Islamic banking: the concept of E mar Al Ardh (or construction, or development of land), which means, adding tangible value to assets (whether natural or human). This concept has a direct relevance to the development of society and its social and economic progress and we seek to apply it through active investment mediation, which complements real and value-added production, and through the exchange of commodities and services, to be able to offer practical alternatives to those financial intermediaries that provide no benefit to society at large. These principles may be summarized as: First: Investments may only be made in sectors and industries that meet ethical standards. The moral values of Islam dictate that Muslims must invest in the production of, and trade in, useful and beneficial goods only. They therefore forbid investment in such activities as, for example, contribute to the production of alcoholic beverages, tobacco or weapons, or are associated in any way with gambling, pornography or the abuse of children, women and minorities, or any other morally questionable practices. Second: All Islamic banks and financial institutions eschew the payment of interest in their relations with depositors, consumers and businesses, as Islam prohibits the paying or charging of interest. Instead, ABG s banking subsidiaries, like all Islamic banks; accept deposits on an investment basis whereby depositors share with the bank in the actual results of the realization of their investments. Financing is provided to businesses in turn mainly on the basis of installment sale, leasing or equity participation. In this way, they and their depositors share the financial risk with the entrepreneurs and together they reap the benefits of the investments. The essential difference in Islam is that the practice of profit sharing is such that wealth creation is the result of a partnership between investors and entrepreneurs in which both the risks and the rewards are shared: returns on invested capital are based on profits actually generated rather than predetermined interest rates. Third: All contracts entered into by Al Baraka s banking subsidiaries, and all their relations with businesses and depositors, must comply with the ethical standards of the Shari a. We have established the Al Baraka Social Responsibility Program, the first such Program to be introduced by any Islamic banking and financial services institution. We consider the role of Social Responsibility in our organization to be essential to our business model in all the countries we operate in, are based. All our subsidiaries embrace Islamic ethical principles and apply them to their banking operations and services. 04 al baraka social responsibility report 2013-2014

Al Baraka Banking Group s philosophy, in essence is that Allah grants mankind the capacity to inherit the land on this earth. And, the man is not the owner of wealth but he is entrusted with it. As the purpose of the creation of the mankind is to construct, embellish and build on this earth, we are therefore ordained to create jobs for others. Thus, the wealth bestowed upon us belongs to Allah. Therefore, we must apply Shari a rules related to the ownership of wealth in creating the wealth and in investing, exchanging, growing and spending the wealth Shaikh Saleh Abdullah Kamel, Chairman, Al Baraka Banking Group The Al Baraka Social Responsibility Program encompasses the following initial ad minima features of its business model: 1.

introduction President and Chief Executive s Welcome Return to Contents Credit Approval Process and Social Responsibility We have also developed an internal mechanism to ensure that our entire business model remains socially responsible. We have added new processes to our credit approval process. As a result, we will not only encourage our existing customers to adopt the Al Baraka Social Responsibility Priorities, but we will also prefer to work with such new customers that are committed to consistently adding more value to their respective communities. Continuing Progress It is my pleasure to present the Al Baraka Social Responsibility Report, which combines our progress in 2013 and 2014. While we have successfully sustained our efforts in most sectors, we are very proud to note greater progress in certain areas. As Al Baraka Social Responsibility Program has been growing every year, our progress and the impact of the program has been steady and consistent: 2012: US$ 940 million 2013: US$ 1,647 million 2014: US$ 1,675 million Al Baraka Social Responsibility Priorities We have decided to take our Social Responsibility Program to yet another level. We would like to integrate specific targets and priorities for the next five years. Accordingly, by 2020 we would like to impact the communities we operate in by: - Adding 50,000 jobs across the countries we operate in as a result of financing new and existing customers operations. We will prefer working with customers that are adding and retaining jobs and offer equal opportunities for men and women. - Financing, and donating to, a variety of educational institutions. - Financing, and donating to, children hospitals, cancer hospitals, diabetic hospitals, kidney dialysis units. - Working with customers that are more closely aligned with the above Al Baraka Social Responsibility Priorities and the Global Goals for Sustainable Development. The Future With this, we hope that we can kick-start an industry-wide trend that Al Baraka is able to lead by example. Given that our business model is uniquely tailored around adding economic value to the communities where we operate, our contributions (and as a result our economic value-add to the society) will increase with our growth. I would like to thank our Chairman, Sheikh Saleh Abdullah Kamel, Directors and, importantly, all of our Shareholders, in inspiring us to do the activities that we have listed in this report.
