Over 430 Bank of Valletta employees collectively contributed more than 3,500 hours to community and environmental causes across Malta and Gozo in 2024.

Bank of Valletta is marking the first anniversary of its employee voluntary leave programme by highlighting this impressive achievement.The programme offers Bank employees the opportunity to dedicate one day during the year to engage in voluntary work. This resulted in an encouraging number of employees participating in diverse initiatives during 2024, ranging from tree planting and environmental clean-ups to supporting vulnerable individuals and assisting animal sanctuaries.

These activities were organised in collaboration with the Bank’s CSR team, with employees dedicating their time to causes that align with the Bank’s core values of inclusion, sustainability, and excellence.Ray Debattista, Chief People & Culture Officer, reflected on the impact of the programme stating, “This initiative is about fostering a culture of connection and collaboration among BOV employees. We are proud to champion this initiative and support our employees by granting them a day dedicated to voluntary service. The passion and commitment shown by our employees is inspiring and their collective efforts demonstrate the power that teamwork can have in making a meaningful impact on society.”

With the start of 2025, Bank of Valletta said that it is renewing its voluntary leave programme, and inviting all its 2,500 plus employees to take advantage of the opportunity to contribute to its mission to strengthen community ties while adding a human layer to those CSR initiatives that drive positive change.
