Besides contributing more than 70% of the national economy output and being the largest industry employer in Bahrain, Bapco also leads the way in contributing to the social and cultural life of Bahrain.

The Company supported different organisations and societies, being one of the main sponsors of the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), which hosts the annual Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix. Bapco also contributed to educational organisations, sports clubs and events, social and cultural clubs, and a host of professional and specialised exhibitions and conferences.

Bapco was one of the first companies to support INJAZ Bahrain when it was launched in 2006 and continues to be a strong supporter, contributing financially and providing employees as volunteers. In 2022, 150 Bapco volunteers were enrolled to deliver various programmes in the academic year of 2022/2023.

Bapco’s philanthropy extended to the Kingdom’s sporting and business communities. The Company continued its sponsorship of His Majesty the King’s Football Cup and the Nasser bin Hamad Football Tournament, renewed its sponsorship agreements with the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), and sponsored the Bapco Motorsport team in its various motor racing activities. Bapco also provided top-level support to a diverse spectrum of trade and career fairs held in Bahrain throughout the year.

Through numerous channels, the Bapco Modernization Programme (BMP) made a substantial contribution to the local community. The Environment and Social Section received zero concerns, completed two community projects and has been working on another nine projects. The team has had several meetings with key stakeholders to review project progress and handle any concerns, as well as conducting a total of 41 awareness/ stakeholder engagement programmes for residents in the project’s local community.
