Kuwait, November 19th 2011: Gulf Bank sponsored the third season of the Green Caravan Film Festival (GCFF) which held its opening ceremony at the UNDP in Mishref on November 16th,  2011. The festival features a wide range of regional and international films which focus on creating awareness around environmental issues, pollution and climate change.

The GCFF is the first film festival of its kind both in Kuwait and Dubai, and one of a small handful of film festivals worldwide which seeks to increase the level of environmental awareness.  This year's festival screens over ten award winning international films at venues in Kuwait and Dubai, and features prominent speakers who cover critical environmental issues in a very enriching and educational manner.

Gulf Bank proactively contributes to initiatives that benefit the society through its Corporate Social Responsibility programs. By supporting the GCFF, the Bank strongly believes that people can be enlightened of the rising environmental issues the world faces today. Preserving the environment is a global issue that needs to be addressed urgently.
