Bank Alfalah has been recognised as the “Most Inclusive Company in 2026” at the Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Benchmarks (GDEIB) Awards, following an evidence-based evaluation by an independent international jury.
This year, 44 leading multinational and national companies participated, submitting documented evidence across people, culture, and workplace practices.
Bank Alfalah emerged as the overall winner, taking first place in 15 GDEIB benchmark categories, including Vision and Strategy, Leadership, DEI Implementation, Recruitment, Advancement, Compensation, Work-Life Integration, Learning and Development, DEI Communications, Sustainability, Community Engagement, Product Development, Marketing, Customer Service, and Responsible Sourcing.
The GDEIB framework is an internationally recognised standard that enables organisations to assess and strengthen diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) systematically.
Bank Alfalah’s achievement highlights its structured approach to fostering an inclusive workplace, where opportunity, representation, and belonging are prioritised across all levels of the organisation.
Beyond internal initiatives, Bank Alfalah continues to lead in sustainable corporate social responsibility. Following the 2022 floods, the bank contributed USD 10 million for relief and pledged an additional USD 5 million in response to the 2025 floods, bringing its total support to USD 15 million.
These funds support infrastructure rehabilitation, climate-smart agriculture, and long-term recovery for affected communities.
The bank also partners with over 30 NGOs to advance impact in education, empowerment, healthcare, and environmental initiatives, aligning its work with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The GDEIB recognition reinforces Bank Alfalah’s commitment to embedding DEI into governance and everyday practices. By championing inclusion both internally and externally, the bank has set a benchmark for other financial institutions in Pakistan, combining operational excellence with meaningful social impact.
