Jakarta — PT Bank Syariah Nasional (Bank BSN) distributed 245 sacrificial animals—comprising 107 cattle and 138 goats—to communities across various regions of Indonesia in observance of Eid al-Adha 1447 H. The initiative is a tangible expression of the bank’s commitment to serving the community through generosity, social care, and fostering togetherness, in line with Islamic banking principles. Bank BSN Managing Director Alex Sofjan Noor stated that Eid al-Adha is a significant opportunity to reinforce values of sincerity, sacrifice, and social solidarity within communities. “Eid al-Adha teaches sincerity, sacrifice, and compassion. Through the distribution of 245 sacrificial animals, Bank BSN aims to remain present within communities—not just as an Islamic banking institution but as part of a social ecosystem growing alongside the people. We hope this initiative brings widespread blessings and benefits to recipients,” Alex said in a written statement in Jakarta on Wednesday (27 May). The distribution of sacrificial animals is being carried out in phases, in collaboration with mosque administrators, community leaders, social organisations, and local communities within Bank BSN’s operational areas. This collaboration aims to ensure precise targeting of beneficiaries and reach those in need across various regions. According to Alex, the annual sacrificial animal distribution programme also reflects the bank’s gratitude for improved performance and public trust. Furthermore, the initiative is part of implementing Sharia values that uphold togetherness, compassion, and social welfare. “We hope this distribution of sacrificial animals not only provides direct benefits to recipients but also strengthens Bank BSN’s communal ties with surrounding communities,” Alex added. The Eid al-Adha sacrificial animal distribution activities form part of Bank BSN’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility programmes focused on community empowerment and creating tangible social impact. As an evolving Islamic financial institution, Bank BSN strives to provide inclusive, trustworthy financial services that add value not only for customers but also for the wider community. “Through the occasion of Eid al-Adha 1447 H, Bank BSN hopes the spirit of sharing, mutual cooperation, and social compassion will continue to grow as a collective force in building a more prosperous, inclusive, and blessed society,” he stressed.
