Garden Show gets Alba backing

Manama : Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba), one of the leading international smelters and a pioneering corporate citizen in Bahrain, underlined its commitment towards a greener environment through its support and participation in the Bahrain International Garden Show 2016, being held from February 24 – 28, 2016 at the Bahrain International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Commenting on Alba’s support and participation, Alba’s Chief Marketing Officer, Khalid A. Latif said, “We are proud to support Bahrain International Garden Show every year, for being one of the key environmental events in the world and promoting Bahrain as a pioneer in conserving the environment.” 

This year, in line with the BIGS 2016’s theme, Alba’s stand at the exhibition will demonstrate the Company’s initiatives in preserving and promoting local trees within the company. 

It will also highlight the Company’s eco-friendly measures and agricultural achievements, as well as the vegetables and fruits grown within the smelter.  

Alba’s success in enforcing strict environmental policies can be measured by the evergreen HRH Princess Sabeeka Oasis located on the south side of the plant.  

The Oasis area extends up to 13 hectares and has over 15,000 trees including many types of fruit trees and an artificial lake, which is one of the largest in Bahrain.
