Faysal Bank introduces guide to help promote inclusive banking
Faysal Bank, a prominent name among Pakistan’s
Islamic banks, has introduced the country’s inaugural Inclusive Communication
Guide. Created in partnership with the Centre of Excellence in Responsible
Business (CERB) under the Pakistan Business Council’s umbrella, this pioneering
guide aims to foster respectful, inclusive, and sensitive language within
workplace cultures. It marks a groundbreaking step toward setting national
standards for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
The launch event in Karachi brought together
leaders from the business world, DEI champions, industry experts, and
inclusivity partners to celebrate a shared vision of workplaces where every
individual’s voice is recognized and valued. The guide is available in both
English and Braille, underscoring its commitment to accessibility and the
standardization of inclusive language throughout corporate Pakistan.

Designed as a practical toolkit, the guide
supports employees and leaders in engaging thoughtfully and respectfully with
diverse groups—ranging from women and persons with disabilities to marginalized
communities. It reflects a larger mission to build sustainable, inclusive workplaces
grounded in belonging and accessibility.
Speaking at the event, Yousaf Hussain,
President & CEO of Faysal Bank, remarked, “Inclusion starts with language.
The words we use reveal our intentions and values. This guide is more than just
a document; it’s a pledge to communicate with empathy, honor diversity, and
cultivate environments where everyone feels seen and heard. We hope it becomes
a valuable resource not only within Faysal Bank but across Pakistan’s corporate
sector.”

Ehsan Malik, CEO of the Pakistan Business
Council, also praised the initiative: “Inclusion is no longer just a trend;
it’s essential for business success. This guide sets a powerful example of how
inclusive culture begins with purposeful communication. We applaud Faysal Bank
for taking the lead and urge other organizations to adopt and tailor this guide
for their own workplaces.”
The Inclusive Communication Guide represents a
significant milestone in Faysal Bank’s DEI journey. By sharing this resource
beyond its own walls, the Bank aims to inspire a ripple effect, encouraging the
wider business community to embrace a more inclusive and mindful workplace
culture across Pakistan.
