Boursa Kuwait champions solidarity on World Refugee Day
Reaffirming its commitment to social and humanitarian responsibility, Boursa Kuwait lit its building in blue in a symbolic gesture of solidarity with refugees worldwide on World Refugee Day, observed annually on June 20. Marking the occasion for the fifth consecutive year, the company continues to highlight humanitarian crises and advocate for the most vulnerable communities, underscoring its dedication to corporate social responsibility and alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This year's World Refugee Day is held under the theme of 'Solidarity with Refugees,' serving as an open call to the international community, particularly the private sector, to show their support refugees through tangible initiatives that empower them to rebuild their lives amid growing global challenges from the rise in forced displacement to the decline in humanitarian funding. 'Boursa Kuwait's participation in World Refugee Day reflects its strong belief in the vital role of the private sector in driving positive, sustainable change. Through its strategic partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the company continues to support impactful initiatives and institutional partnerships that empower refugees to meet their basic needs—including cash assistance, education, and healthcare,' said Mr. Naser Al-Sanousi, Boursa Kuwait's Senior Director of Marketing and Communication. 'Boursa Kuwait remains committed to raising community awareness and fostering a culture of solidarity, social responsibility and meaningful giving that contributes to the development of more inclusive and equitable societies,' he added. To mark the occasion, Boursa Kuwait announced the continuation of its strategic partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), reaffirming its ongoing support for the agency's initiatives across the region. Since 2020, the bourse has helped deliver aid to more than 1,980 refugee families through various relief programs, including winter assistance, education and emergency response. In 2025, Boursa Kuwait supported UNHCR's cash assistance and protection program, empowering refugees and displaced persons to meet their essential living needs with dignity. This initiative reflects the bourse's ongoing commitment to adopting best-in-class practices in corporate sustainability, governance, environmental and social responsibility (ESG). 'On World Refugee Day, let us remember that solidarity with refugees is a humanitarian duty—an act of extending support to people who have been forced to flee their homes and countries due to circumstances beyond their control. By opening our doors and listening to their stories—stories that blend pain with hope—we affirm the importance of supporting initiatives that empower them and facilitate their integration into host communities,' said UNHCR Representative in Kuwait Ms. Nisreen Rubaian. 'I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Boursa Kuwait for its continued support of refugee families across the Middle East and North Africa, especially recognizing the bourse's backing of initiatives dedicated to unaccompanied children and its efforts to amplify the noble message and objectives of World Refugee Day. I urge everyone to unite in building a more welcoming world for refugees, one that offers dignity, hope and the promise of a brighter, more sustainable future,' added Rubaian. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is a global organization committed to saving lives, protecting rights, and building a better future for people forced to flee their homes due to conflict and persecution. As the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR leads international efforts to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees and forcibly displaced communities around the world. The initiative forms part of Boursa Kuwait's efforts to create a lasting meaningful impact on the community as part of its Corporate Sustainability strategy, and is in line with Goal 1 – No Poverty, Goal 2 – Zero Hunger, Goal 3 – Good Health and Well-Being, Goal 4 – Quality Education, Goal 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation, Goal 10 – Reduced Inequalities and Goal 17 – Partnership for the Goals - of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Boursa Kuwait's Corporate Sustainability strategy stipulates ensuring initiatives apply and fall in line with the company's corporate social responsibility (CSR), industry best practice standards and investor expectations, creating strong and sustainable partnerships that ultimately achieve success and allow Boursa Kuwait to leverage the capabilities and strengths of other companies or organizations that have experience in different fields, and integrating sustainability efforts with the company culture, in order to achieve longevity and an ongoing impact that is carried on and instilled in the day-to-day operations of the stock exchange. As part of the strategy, Boursa Kuwait has launched many initiatives in partnership with local and international organizations, focusing on support for nongovernmental organizations and charity programs, financial literacy and capital market awareness, the empowerment of women, and environmental protection.
