With truth, trust and transparency, Doha Bank is a pioneer in Qatar for annual Sustainability and Corporate Governance reports, and has been publishing these disclosures for more than a decade”.
Seetharaman added that the Bank was considered a pioneer in Green Banking and was the first to launch products such as Green Credit card, Green Mortgage and Green Car loans.
