In a demonstration of their commitment to environmental sustainability, 20 volunteers from Baiduri Bank, under their Baiduri Cares initiative, participated in the Reef Ball Fabrication Programme organised by LAUT Brunei. This activity was a follow-up to the bank’s sponsorship of the inaugural Ocean Week Brunei in June.

The programme began with a marine conservation talk by Poni Divers Marketing Manager Donna Baltazar. The volunteers participated in fabricating 14 reef balls, converting raw materials into structures that promote marine ecosystem health. In recognition of their efforts, Baiduri Bank was presented with a token of appreciation received by Assistant Manager of Corporate Communications and Brand and Corporate Social Responsibility Lead at Group Strategic Marketing and Communications Muiz bin Dato Paduka Haji Adnan. All volunteers were also awarded certificates, certifying them as reef ball fabricators.

According to a press release, Baiduri Bank is looking forward to the upcoming Reef Ball Discovery programme with Poni Divers and LAUT Brunei. This initiative will involve deploying reef balls and conducting coral planting activities at Pelong Rocks, Serasa.
