HUMAN RIGHTS
The Bank endorses and supports internationally recognised principles under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which promotes global respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction of race, colour, gender, language, religion, opinion, descent, or national or ethnic origin (know more).
As businesses, we need to demonstrate that we are aware of human rights. Clearly, human rights are a global issue. The concept of “due diligence” was proposed and found to be a useful starting point for companies as they seek to integrate respect for human rights into their practices. Similarly, with the right to privacy, any company should know that it has potential adverse impacts on this human right, whether it is from handling data or from registering and using customer information.
Preventing Violent Extremism
As part of the National Strategy for Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) which was approved in 2018 by the Lebanese Council of Ministers under a United Nations global action plan, an awareness survey was launched both internally and externally with the aim of engaging a variety of stakeholders. Bank Audi, among other financial institutions, civil society, academic and international organisations, partnered with the National Coordination Unit for PVE to implement this nation-wide awareness about its strategy and the role of the banking sector in the stability and inclusivity of the Lebanese society. A reach of 378,532 was achieved.
