5. On behalf of the Board of
Directors, I am pleased to
present you with Jordan
Ahli Bank's Corporate
Responsibility Report for
the year 2012. This report
reflects our efforts to adopt and support
various national programs that are within the
framework of our proactive participation in
supporting developmental and social goals
that aspire to improve our local society.
Our absolute faith in the importance of
reinforcing concepts of sustainability and
corporate responsibility stems from our
inherent understanding of the irrevocable
connection between the economic success
and growth of institutions and the vitality and
development of the societies nurturing them.
The bank has been keen on merging
the social and environmental aspects with
economic considerations as well as including
corporate responsibility in its general goals
and annual budget. This policy is now an
inseparable aspect of Jordan Ahli Bank's
culture and a fundamental element shaping
the bank's identity. Jordan Ahli Bank has
remained open to its society and continues to
attract support for all its strata. The bank has
put great importance on designing programs
and sustainable social initiatives that serve
the economic, educational and health needs
of our society and help in its progress,
setting it on the right path of sustainable
development.
The bank’s success in positively
communicating and building relationships
with its social environments is an extension
of its strategy for changing to the better,
Letterfromthe
Chairman
Dear Sirs/Madams,
pushing the wheel of national development
forward, and setting the stage for achieving
sustainable development in Jordan. We
hope that along with the efforts made by the
society's various institutions from the public
and private sectors, we will reach out to the
biggest number of sectors and segments of the
community.
What makes Jordan Ahli Bank's 2012
Corporate Responsibility report particularly
significant is that it presents the results of
an evaluation of all our social responsibility
programs. It was conducted for reasons of
transparency and internal accountability, in
addition to keeping in line with the Jordan
Ahli Bank's new strategy and orientation
of social responsibility, adopted last
year. This approach arises from the bank
administration's eagerness to increase the
influence of our programs on sustainable
development, whether economic, social
or environmental, and in a manner that
is compatible with what we do, creating
an added value through benefiting from
the expertise and capabilities of the bank,
in addition to its institutional and human
resources.
On a final note, I would like to
extend my gratitude and appreciation to
all of our partners and shareholders for
their unwavering faith in the role of our
institution in supporting the process of local
development. I would also like to thank our
employees for being dedicated to promoting
our values of corporate responsibility and
establishing it in our work for the
greater good and welfare of the society and
the country.

Organizational Chart
Nevertheless, no diversity in
matter of gender and age is
reflected at the board level,
as all board members are
males above 50 years old.
It is worth noting here that
many of the bank’s board
and high management
team members are iconic
economists and well-known
figures in the banking and
financial industry in Jordan.
Since its establishment, Jordan
Ahli Bank has had a clear policy
for equal opportunity, which is
todayreflectedinthecomposition
of its governance bodies when
comparing broad workforce
diversity to management
team diversity. For example,
in 2012, 26% of the bank's
middle management and 14%
of its senior management and
strategic decision makers were
female, as opposed to 44% in
junior posts. These are relatively
high percentages compared to
other sectors in Jordan. To date,
there has not been any incident
of discrimination or violations
including rights to indigenous
people.

9. Jordan Ahli Bank appreciates the
role of the working woman in the
work environment, and the key role
she plays in family development.
His Excellency Mr. Marwan Awad,
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and
General Manager (GM) of Jordan Ahli
Bank presented a group of female
employees who have lost their
husbands with a Mother’s Day award for persevering and keeping their jobs in order to provide
a living for their family and children. These women are an embodiment of a mother’s unlimited
devotion, thus deserving to be honored and rewarded by their management.

CR ASSESSMENT AND THOROUGH
OPERATIONS REVIEW
While realizing the importance of playing
a responsible role towards our people
and the society, we have been aware that
demonstrations of responsibility need to be
a progressive act, seeking to grow in impact
and value. Accordingly, we have carefully
reviewed our CR efforts for 2012 on the
following assessment levels:
In compliance with the Global Reporting Initiative
(GRI) requirements, this report and the CR
framework at Jordan Ahli Bank are based on
identified issues that are of highest significance
to the business and the bank's stakeholders. The
indicators reported on have also been chosen
and prioritized according to the CR strategy and
focus areas the bank has resolved to adopt for the
years to come. We have applied materiality tests
to determine which aspects are ‘material’ for the
bank and thus to best choose the GRI performance
indicators to report against in this report as
indicated in the GRI Index on page 36.
CR in general, in matter of awareness,
drivers and governance
CR in the social community, in matter of
investment strategy and social engagement
CR in the marketplace, in matter of

CR in the workplace, in matter of Human
Resources policies, employee engagement

Environment, in matter of environmental
policies, and considerations in strategic
decisions
A CR Manager was assigned for the first
time at Jordan Ahli Bank and delegated with
responsibilities to manage the review process
and perform the engagement needed to feed
the process with the input and expectations of
the bank's key stakeholder groups regarding
its CR performance and future plans.

The engagement process entailed expert

collected is shared throughout this report.
STAKEHOLDERS' ENGAGEMENT
Jordan Ahli Bank has always believed
that a transparent ongoing dialog with
its stakeholders will help raise the bank’s
awareness of opportunities or issues of
conflict in the short or long term.
Aiming at setting the bank’s new CR direction
and focus areas, we identified and prioritized
our direct and indirect stakeholders as in
Figure 2. We embarked on engaging them
in the best ways possible in the matter
of communication format, language and
approach to become more informed of their
expectations and thoughts regarding Jordan
Ahli Bank’s CR programs.
Identification and prioritization of
stakeholders was managed based on
information collected from general research
focusing on the degree of how much each
stakeholder group can influence or is
influenced by the bank’s economic, social
and environmental performance now and in
the future.

12. AN HONEST SELF CHECK
Jordan Ahli Bank has always been dedicated
to contributing to Jordanian society through
different means and programs. Such social
contributions in the past few years can be
summarized as follows (Figure 3):
Sustainability
Journey
Children & Less Privileged Ones 43.43%
Entrepreneurship&YouthEmpowerment 22.22%
Education 10.10%
Health Care 6.6%
Sports & Fitness 2.2%
Culture & Art 6.6%
Tourism 6.6%
Professional & Societal Development &
Empowerment 5.5%
Figure 3: CR contributions in
the past few years
Moreover, the new shape and direction for Jordan
Ahli Bank’s CR will result in sustainable growth
and progress of such desired higher impacts.
Hence, through a collaborative effort between the
bank’s senior management, CR department and
sustainability advisors the bank’s CR Strategy for
2013 onward was designed to achieve an integrated
CR scenario that meets more of the stakeholders’
expectations, contributes with progressive
impact to the development of certain societal,
environmental and macro-economic issues and
aligns well with the bank’s business objectives.
In 2012, Jordan Ahli Bank, in cooperation
with a leading sustainability advisory firm,
went through a thorough assessment of its
CR activities in the past years, as well as a
review of the bank's stakeholders’ needs and
interests. It was found that, while attempting
to serve as many societal causes as it could, in
widely diverse areas, the CR investments and
contributions could achieve an even higher
impact on society and stakeholders with a
more strategic approach.
The bank recognized that its CR activities
could be shaped and directed differently
to achieve more substantial impact on
sustainable development as well as the bank’s
business, while meeting its stakeholders’
interest and expectations.

13. KEY IMPACTS, RISKS AND
OPPORTUNITIES
A major exercise towards assessing the
bank’s previous CR efforts and tuning its CR
direction for the years to come in alignment
with the business growth and direction
was conducting a CR SWOT analysis that
reviewed the bank’s strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats. For a corporation
operating in such a vital sector as the
financial sector, the bank clearly realizes the
responsibility it has to impact and contribute
to the development of the economy and
hence the associated society members. This
is the domain that most stakeholders expect
a financial institution such as the Jordan Ahli
Bank to take an active part in.
As such, the bank’s strategists have realized
that philanthropy might have shaped the
majority of its CR efforts in past years,which
now needs to be re-directed towards high-
impact initiatives in a sustainable manner to
create long-term accumulative impact.
The bank enjoys an already established
perception amongst societies in Jordan as a
local/national bank that cares for the country
and its people’s wellbeing.
By nature of the industry, the bank demonstrates
a high degree of compliance and credibility.
The top management of the bank already have
the strong conviction and will to invest in
programs with a sizeable social impact.
A number of the bank’s strengths were
identified to leverage its CR position:
STRENGTHS
OPPORTUNITIES
Moreover, great opportunities have been
identified in the matter of product and service
innovations with strong social impact, in
addition to the wider benefits that the whole
financial sector could enjoy out of raising
sustainability and corporate responsibility
awareness amongst its different stakeholders.
The bank also has a wide societal reach through
its large client base and employees, which provide
an opportunity to maximize its CR impact through
those two key stakeholder groups.
As such, Jordan Ahli Bank has identified a
great opportunity for becoming a market
leader with its strategized CR efforts and a
high measureable impact on the local economy
and social development, when aligned with its
business objectives
and strategies.

14. AFreshWay
ofThinking
NEW CR STRATEGY &
FOCUS AREAS
In alignment with our
business vision, the new
CR strategy is based on a
direction for Jordan Ahli
Bank to reaffirm itself as
a bank that cares beyond
providing mere commercial
banking services. Rather,
the bank is to sustainably
grow as a financial institution
that aims to enable a better
economy.
With this direction,
the bank’s CR Vision is “to
be a Socially Responsible,
Economically Empowering
and Environmentally Friendly
Bank”.
Jordan Ahli Bank has set its business visions for
the coming eight years as follows:
most service-oriented and customer
centric bank in core markets
one of the leading banks in terms
of market share, innovation and
profitability in target markets
(market position, market share,
corporate image, brand equity)
recognized leader across the Middle

A BANK THAT CARES
This direction of the bank’s CR is reflected
through three focus areas or pillars designed
with the aim of achieving an integrated CR
approach that blends into the bank’s value
chain and its interactions with internal and
external stakeholders:

of the bank’s CR initiatives and programs
would lead to the development of innovative
new banking solutions that will result in
stronger CR impact while also attracting new
customers and generating new sources of
revenue; hence creating shared value for the
bank and the society it aims to serve.

Operating in such a highly-regulated sector
as the banking sector, it is part and parcel
of all our bank’s policies to make sure we

regulations and standards. In relevance to

never received in any of its operations any
monetary or non-monetary fines or sanctions

19. OPERATING IN GREEN BUILDINGS
Operating through environmentally friendly
offices is proven to save money and resources
such as electricity, energy and water; thus,
providing a strong business case for CR from a
cost efficiency perspective.
Since the year 2011, the bank has started
taking measures to reduce water and energy
consumption throughout its 51 branches in
Jordan. Such measures included applying
high-efficiency faucet aerators to reduce
water flow in some branches.
In 2012, the bank managed to reduce its
water consumption to 26,195 JOD
(4,436,182.2 gallons)compared to 32,077 JOD
(5,280,301.2 gallons)in the previous year.
The bank has also replaced light bulbs
throughout its offices with energy-saving
bulbs starting in 2011 and attempted through
its internal communications efforts to raise
employee awareness on the importance of
saving electricity through their day to day
practices. The bank succeeded in reducing
electricity consumption from 2,489,092
kilowatts in 2011 to 2,381,057 kilowatts
in 2012, but the electricity bill increased
substantially from 640,798 JOD to 1,292,781
JOD due to the electricity price increases. A
similar challenge was faced with the heating
energy bill that increased from 30,624 JOD
(2,323,935 megajoules) in 2011 to 48,903
JOD (3,181,140 megajoules) in 2012 due to
the increase in usage and in the diesel prices
in the Kingdom.
However, these increases could be due
in part to opening new branches and the
increase in prices of electricity and diesel
in Jordan; nevertheless, the bank realizes
this and is committed to implementing
serious energy-saving measures. Towards
this end, the bank’s main branch in Jordan
has undertaken an energy efficiency
preliminary assessment by environmental
experts in cooperation with the bank’s
engineering department and realized several
opportunities for better efficiency in the use
of water and energy resources in the years to
come. The bank also commits to start running
regular green auditing across its branches at
the start of 2013.

Sahab during 2012:
OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
In 2011, the bank began restructuring many
of its operations and increased coordination
between its various resources in order to
achieve higher effectiveness in managing its
operational and non-operational expenses.
The goal of such plans was to reduce costs
and maximize positive returns for the

environment. The bank also continued to
implement its policies that aimed at cutting
logistical expenses in 2012 by introducing
new administrative practices that were
pursued a few years earlier and which aim at
achieving efficiency in managing resources in
all of the bank’s operations.
Among the bank’s most notable achievements

Decreasing the total general and administrative

and taking into consideration the fact that
administrative expenses were decreased by 12%
from the previous year.
The bank recognizes the importance of automating
operations in saving expenses and efforts that would
otherwise be spent on storing records and consuming
papers, as well as preserving our environmental
resources and reducing logistical expenses. It is
by adopting this approach that the bank was able
to complete 90% of the inventories check for the
bank’s branches in 2012, where the initial inventory
was matched with the fixed assets system and
the financial system (by recording the necessary
accounting entries). In addition, barcodes were
printed and pasted on all of the bank’s assets. The
inventory check for the remaining branches (six
branchesandtheiradministrations)willbecompleted
in 2013 when all of the bank’s assets will become bar-
coded. Once this is done, all inventory operations will
be conducted using a scanning machine and put into
the system directly to be matched.
Moreover, a fixed assets system has been
introduced to include operations for matching
maintenance invoices with the machines that have
undergone maintenance in order to track them and
predict the maintenance needed for the machine
in the future and its service life. This will help us
circumvent losses that may arise from delays in
maintenance and check-ups.

DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING ACHIEVEMENTS
The bank recognizes the vital role human

Considering health and safety
measurements across all its branches−
and as the bank's working environment is
a safe one due to nature of the business−
one of the indicators of low working
conditions-related injuries is the relatively
low absenteeism rate at 0.33% in 2012;
recording only 990 unexcused absence
days (including unapproved sick days
and days of absence without a reason)
out of a total of 304,119 workforce days.
The bank also conducts annual studies
to measure employee satisfaction and the
work environment using questionnaires
and surveys. The bank adopts an open-
door policy and is always keen on
organizing seminars and organized
meetings between employees and
managers in order to build trust and open
communication in the work environment.
Furthermore, the bank continually
improves the benefits and advantages
it offers employees and their families,
such as the savings fund, health and life
insurance and disbursement of a sixteen-
month salary in 2012.
Many excursions and entertainment
events were organized in 2012 on
various occasions. These events were
held to create a friendly and familial
atmosphere for employees to socialize,
forge connections and create networks.
More than 17 events were organized
and witnessed the participation of more
than 2,900 employees compared to
1,900 employees participating in similar
events in 2011.
In 2012, the human resources group
launched the “Ahli Walk” team on
World Health Day. The team members−
employees, customers and friends of
Jordan Ahli Bank−have kept their walking
routines up and running, even a year
later. The idea behind this team was to
strengthen the bonds of cooperation and
friendship between the bank's employees
and promote health and physical wellness
amongst them; a clear reflection of the
bank's family-oriented culture.
Marking the World No Tobacco Day,
the human resources department organized
a seminar on the dangers of smoking in
cooperation with Pharmacy One, which was
aimed at promoting a healthy and smoke-free
work environment and raising the awareness
of the bank's employees on the health,
psychological and economic ramifications
of smoking. The bank encouraged its
employees to quit smoking by providing
them with information on how to fight and
overcome this addiction in order to improve
their general wellness, and at the same time
maintain a healthy work environment.

While the bank’s strategic CR thinking
has started taking a more focused
direction in 2012, the bank still believes in the
importance of the philanthropic giving of large
organizations to the societies they operate
in, and the important role such contributions
can have in infrastructural development,
building economic and societal capacities
and alleviating many of the social pains that
need direct monetary donations. As such,
Jordan Ahli Bank has donated a total of JOD
410,923 to civil society organizations and
non-governmental organizations in Jordan

WALKINGTHETALK

34. This pillar aims at positioning Jordan Ahli
Bank as a provider of responsible, sustainable
and innovative banking services. There are many
approaches to achieve market leadership.
Jordan Ahli Bank is developing a new niche
for market leadership in the area of sustainable
and responsible banking. We strongly believe that
we can generate added value and competitive
advantage while fulfilling our CR promises
through responsible, sustainable banking.
The objective here is to come up with
innovative banking products and services that
would create a paradigm shift in how clients
perceive sustainable development in the matter
of societal and environmental impacts. The aim
is to create a demand for products and services
that contribute positively to society and the
environment and engage clients in
such contributions.
INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
WITH SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The bank’s committed vision endeavored to
develop and diversify its electronic banking
services, hence launching its Ahli Mobile
campaign to become a pioneer in this area;
providing customers with the opportunity
to manage and follow up on their accounts
24/7, in addition to providing other
electronic channels available at Jordan Ahli
Bank including (Ahli Online, Ahli Phone,
ATM machines distributed across the
Kingdom, as well as SMS banking services).

It is worth mentioning that during the
year 2012, the bank also started designing and
developing a number of new services, features
and policies that would reflect its interest and
care about clients' needs, and extend to reach
a wider supply chain. The bank has achieved
this by creating and investing in innovative
products and expanding its services that have
a social and environmental impact, and which
set a foundation for new responsible lending
policies in the years to come.
31
35. RESPONSIBLE/ETHICAL LENDING
As a new practice towards raising a culture
of sustainability amongst its different
stakeholders through its banking services, in
2012, Jordan Ahli Bank began the design of
a communication campaign and new policies
that would encourage certain groups of
clients and suppliers to apply sustainability
practices in their businesses. This approach
is the result of the bank's strong belief that
it takes an integrated ecosystem of public,
private and civil society organizations to raise
the economic and societal conditions that
would benefit all members of the society and
the economy.
The most important services provided
through Ahli Mobile are:
Inquiring about credit and debit accounts as well
as credit cards
Inquiring about account and credit cards
transactions
Internal account transfers
Suspension of ATM cards
Calculation of interest on deposits and loans
In addition to several other services provided to
facilitate customer-related services.
This service is considered amongst those that
maintain the culture of sustainability and selling
awareness; due to economizing in the use of
printed paper and lowering customers’ visits to
the bank, which results in the reduction of fuel
and transportation consumption whilst also
improving customer satisfaction and freeing up
valuable customer time.
RESPONSIBLEBANKING
32
36. The third pillar of Jordan Ahli Bank's
CR direction brings with it a wider
perspective and responsibility of a financial
institution, reaching beyond mere financing
and banking services.
Jordan Ahli Bank has already been
perceived for years as a national bank with
an ethical and social responsibility attached
to its core values and “reason for existence”
in the Jordanian market. People already
perceive it as a bank that empathizes with
people's genuine concerns; hence, many
organizations do not hesitate to knock its
doors for support and contribution to many
different social development projects.
In 2012, the bank started
and continued a number of
programs and initiatives that
would contribute sustainably
towards a better local socio-
economic development as
follows:
EQUIPPING & ENABLING SMES
As part of its contributions towards better
socio-economic development, Jordan Ahli
Bank launched an SME Academy Unit - the
first of its kind amongst local and regional
banks - that aims at enabling and equipping
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs),
at no charge, to become more bankable,
tax literate, and capable of growing and
managing sustainable businesses with
needed financial and business planning tools.
The unit also helps business entrepreneurs
LOCALSOCIO-ECONOMICDEVELOPMENT
Nevertheless, the new CR strategy
of Jordan Ahli Bank seeks to direct the
bank's efforts in a way that would create a
shared value for both the bank's business
and the societies as reflected clearly in the
second pillar “Responsible Banking”. The
CR strategy also seeks to position the bank
as a major player in enabling better local
socio-economic development. By leveraging
societies from an economic perspective, the
whole ecosystem within which Jordan Ahli
Bank operates will be a more competitive
market that would eventually result in better
business prospects and opportunities for job
creation and growth.

37. Raising Awareness around
Corporate Responsibility and
Sustainability
In its attempt to promote the aspired
environmental progress and to spread
increased awareness regarding corporate
responsibility and sustainability amongst those
working in the private sector, Jordan Ahli Bank
was among the organizations that sponsored
the Queen Alia Award for Social Responsibility
for the years 2011/2012 to minimize the use
of plastic bags, and raise awareness on the
negative impact they can have on health and
the environment, particularly regarding the
ill practices demonstrated when disposing of
them. The campaign also hoped to encourage
the replacement of those bags with paper or
cloth ones, which are environmentally friendly.
The logo of the campaign was “Do not overuse
plastic bags, and decrease the amount you
consume”. The competition that has been
launched by the Jordanian Hashemite Fund
for Human Development in 1995 is one of the
annual competitions that endeavors to raise
awareness and to prompt social responsibility
in hope to reinforce healthy environmental
practices and to protect the safety of society
and life on Earth.
The bank also supports CSR in Action
program through the active participation of
its employees in the program. The program
has been designed and organized by the
Ahli Holdings Group as a regional initiative
for a specialized group of SME customers.
25 participants participated in each activity;
belonging to several small and medium-
sized companies from amongst the overall
15,000 companies of this category who are
customers of the bank.
for social responsibility, which supports
the youth in the region in partnership and
collaboration with the Center of Business
Development. The program included the
participation of 27 young Jordanian men and
women in intensive sessions and workshops
to reinforce their knowledge about a range of
issues that included the concept of corporate
social responsibility, planning and execution
of projects mechanisms, in addition to raising
appropriate funding in the hope of reinforcing
their skills and capacities as well as equipping
them with required tools to establish and
launch their initiatives and projects to
maintain their sustainability.

issued annual reports on its CR programs
and activities in previous years (2011, 2010,
